[PATCH] stop using pwgen

[Kevin Lyda]

On OS X:
% cat foo.sh
#!/bin/bash

read -r -N 32 p < <(tr -dc '[:graph:]' < /dev/random)
echo "$p"
% ./foo.sh
./foo.sh: line 3: read: -N: invalid option
read: usage: read [-ers] [-u fd] [-t timeout] [-p prompt] [-a array] [-n
nchars] [-d delim] [name ...]
% sed -i .bak s/-N/-n/ foo.sh
% ./foo.sh
tr: Illegal byte sequence
y*K
% which tr
/usr/bin/tr

So definitely need to move to -n for read, but the system tr on OS X is
unamused by this idea.
