Thanks Antoine for writing this patch.
And thanks Jason for considering it.

I fully support moving away from pwgen.

As brought up a month ago, I propose to "generate passwords natively 
instead of dependency":

I also proposed a method to do this without base64:

> We could also use "alnum" instead of "graph" and/or "base64" instead of 
> "head".

Thanks, and keep up the good work!
