Bytes::Random::Secure provides two interfaces for obtaining crypto-quality
random bytes. The simple interface is built around plain functions. For greater
control over the Random Number Generator's seeding, there is an Object Oriented
interface that provides much more flexibility.
The "functions" interface provides functions that can be used any time you need
a string of a specific number of random bytes. The random bytes are available as
simple strings, or as hex-digits, Quoted Printable, or MIME Base64. There are
equivalent methods available from the OO interface, plus a few others.
This module can be a drop-in replacement for Bytes::Random, with the primary
enhancement of using a cryptographic-quality random number generator to create
the random data. The random_bytes function emulates the user interface of
Bytes::Random's function by the same name. But with Bytes::Random::Secure the
random number generator comes from Math::Random::ISAAC, and is suitable for
cryptographic purposes. The harder problem to solve is how to seed the
generator. This module uses Crypt::Random::Seed to generate the initial seeds
for Math::Random::ISAAC.
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Fix every instance of RUN_DEPENDS:=${BUILD_DEPENDS} in p5 ports, except
for where it resulted in a change in output from build-depends-list or
run-depends-list.
