instead of a single wordlist only. This way we will be able to generate
not only random sequences of words, but also phrases with a syntactic
structure. These are easier to memorize.

Accept also any non-digit characters as separator when entering numbers in realdice mode.

Fixes #74

When using real dice as source of randomness, allow entering several rolls in one line separated by spaces instead of each roll on a separate line. Tests and README were updated accordingly.

The ``en`` list should be the default, but we want a better designed
list for that. The shortcomings of the Reinhold list are listed on

Many thanks to @mayurilahane for spotting this typo. Also small contributions are needed to make better software :)

Wordlist in pt-br was first introduced in 7743ed55. The differences to
this one are:

  - 9-characters words are introduced.
  - suffixes removal is made after accounting for popularity.
  - less frequent words that differ only in the last character are
    removed.

The current pt-br wordlist was generated as follows:

  1. Download a dump of portuguese Wikipedia pages, process all pages
     and determine the frequency of each word.
  2. Start from /usr/share/dict/brazilian and filter out:
       - words not matching /^[a-z]+$/,
       - words shorter than 4 characters, and
       - words longer than 9 characters.
  3. Sort remaining words using pt Wikipedia frequencies.
  4. Take the top 30K words (just because after filtering we still get
     roughly the amount we need).
  5. Filter out:
       - all words that are a suffix of any other word in the list.
       - less frequent words that differ only by the last character.
  6. Take the 7776 most frequent words.

No further curation was made.

Next release won't be in 2018.

The wordlist was generated from 2 different sources of words:

  - The file /usr/share/dict/brazilian from Debian's wbrazilian package.
  - A dump of the pages of Wikipedia in portuguese.

The final pt-br wordlist was generated as follows:

  1. Download a dump of portuguese Wikipedia pages, process all pages
     and determine the frequency of each word.
  2. Start from /usr/share/dict/brazilian and filter out:
       - words not matching /^[a-z]+$/,
       - words shorter than 4 characters, and
       - words longer than 8 characters.
  3. Remove all words that are a suffix of any other word in the list.
  4. Sort remaining words using pt Wikipedia frequencies.
  5. Take the 7776 most frequent words.

No further curation was made.

There are obvious drawbacks in this approach (eg: many very frequent
words are left out because they are either too short or too long or
contain accents or cedilla), but it was the best cost-benefit i could
think about.

Thanks to @drebs for pushing that a bit.

`pycodestyle` complained about non raw-string expressions.

Tell about the last fix.

Kudos to @dmuth for being attentative and also fixing the problem :)

Yet, we included the copyright text from the respective file. With the
change to the machine-readable format we cannot parse it as part of the
manpage template anymore.
I therefore put in the old copyright text verbatim into the template.

Mention the granted permission to use the "Diceware" name also in
COPYRIGHT.

Tell about the last trademark-related changes.

We received an official permission from Arnold G Reinhold to use the
name 'diceware' under the following conditions:

1) we use Pythons `system.random` as default source of randomness
2) we continue to provide support for real dice
3) we do not use the name for other tools than this commandline tool
4) we include the trademark statement commited hereby.

Many thanks go to Mr. Reinhold.

Fixes #48.
