Trevor Johnson e67c886b33 Update to 1.0.4. This version can accept several input files or
RNG inputs, rather than just one, and can generate numerous output
files, rather than just two.  It now requires GNU make.

Add a patch to use mkstemp() rather than tempnam() so temporary
files are created with safe permissions.  With the unpatched version,
local users can read sensitive information if pad is run in a
world-readable directory (the bug is not present in 0.x versions).
Turn over maintainership to submitter.

Install the man page.

Fix spelling of "omitted" in pad.1 and pad.c.  Clarify warning
message about inputs with unequal sizes.

Generate the packing list just before installation.

I put the distfile on MASTER_SITE_LOCAL because the home site is
offline.  The checksum on my copy differs from the one in PR 27323.

This is a small command-line utility for encryption and decryption
using the principle of one-time pads (OTPs). One or more data files
given to pad are XORd with each other and with RNG output, resulting
in two or more output files. The output files are indistinguishable
from random noise, except that when the pad utility is used to XOR
them together again, the original data files may be recovered.
