	Algorithmically, yes.  However, if the PRNG is designed in such a way
	that makes it hard for you to use it as a stream cipher (ie, use of
	a one-way function that makes it hard to "work upstream") the ITAR
	folks may be nicer to you when you want to export it (after all, 
	the 4.4BSD-derived OS'es now ship DES in the non-US libcrypt, with
	the difference being that the domestic libcrypt performs decryption
	while the export one does a "return (1); /* always fail */").

(Actually, I'm in awe that the NSA let the CSRG and descendants export even
 that... Berzerkeley must have been owed some favors 8-)
