Description: 
dieharder is a fairly involved random number/uniform deviate generator
tester.  It can either test any of its many prebuilt and linked
generators (basically all of those in the Gnu Scientific Library plus
others I've added) or a potentially random dataset in a file.  With file
input, it can manage either a variety of ascii-formatted input or a raw
binary bitstring.  It is thus suitable for use in testing both software
RNG's and hardware RNG's.

See http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/dieharder.php for more information

As this is my first package I will be requiring a sponsor.

A few quick notes:
 - The spec file is based on the one found in the srpms on the above link, 
   but has been heavily edited to conform to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines
 - The original spec file had no changelog entries, hence the sparse nature 
   of that section
 - rpmlint is complaining about 
     dieharder-libs.i386: W: shared-lib-calls-exit
/usr/lib/libdieharder.so.2.28.1 exit at GLIBC_2.0
   I am unsure what to do about this as a quick grep "exit" *.c in
   libdieharder/ reveals that this is pretty endemic to the code
