crandpass V5 released!

Just completed the crandpass script.  I am considering this feature complete and have also not only releasing a tarball with this version but an RPM as well.  Repositories for the package can now be found on the OpenBuild service and hopefully I can get it in the mail OpenSUSE repositories for 13.1 since it is such a simple, elegant script.

From changelog:
VERSION 5: 20130803
  * ADDED spec file for rpm package creation.
  * CHANGED file structure of project folder.
  * CHANGED README file is now up to date.
VERSION 4: 20130802
  * ADDED hexadecimal password creation options (-H)
VERSION 3: 20130802
  * CHANGED default passwords created to 1. This is to make the program script friendly so that it can be re-used.
  * ADDED support for controling case
  * ADDED support for character control: letters, numbers, and symbols can now be includued or excluded.
  * ADDED symbol support.

Usage: crandpass -c 1 -l 32 -s random
  -h   print this help message
  -A   alphabetic characters options:
      0  x  exlude       exclude letters
