1. That's what the `-s|--secure` flag is for

3. Is 1000 lines in 6 files really "large"?

4. On Debian at least, it just requires Libc.

1. Sorry, didn't know about that. Just took a cursory glance through the source code.

3. 126 lines in 1 file is still an order of magnitude smaller.

4. The source has a Perl and a sed script, although they are not used in the password generation.

(2) is still a concern, especially on servers and embedded computers.
