Thanks to all for comments.  I have submitted a patch against makekey as PR 
bin/28885.

And regarding srand for generating salts:  No need for crypto-level randomness 
as the salts are public knowledge anyway.  Only requirement is that they are 
reasonably flatly distributed across the salt-space.  (Is that a word??)
