Michael Koziarski def2ccb8e3 Add ActiveSupport::KeyGenerator as a simple wrapper around PBKDF2
This will be used to derive keys from the secret and a salt, in order to allow us to
do things like encrypted cookie stores without using the secret for multiple
purposes directly.

# KeyGenerator is a simple wrapper around OpenSSL's implementation of PBKDF2

# This lets rails applications have a single secure secret, but avoid reusing that
# key in multiple incompatible contexts.
