Sure, it only needs a slight change in the C code, but I do not want
to have the shasum of a password and prefer the shasum of the entropy,
so that the shasum can be used for a password as well! :-)
One question I ask myself:
Aren't you losing entropy when you use the modulo operation
in the "bytes_to_chars" function? I wonder.
Yes, but this can be fixed by doubling the entropy and then
using rejection sampling.
