Please could you do a review for this package? dcfldd is one of the forensic
tools requested on wishlist from Fedora Security Spin.

dcfldd is an enhanced version of GNU dd with features useful for forensics
and security. dcfldd has the following additional features:

   * Hashing on-the-fly - dcfldd can hash the input data as it is being
     transferred, helping to ensure data integrity.
   * Status output - dcfldd can update the user of its progress in terms of
     the amount of data transferred and how much longer operation will take.
   * Flexible disk wipes - dcfldd can be used to wipe disks quickly
     and with a known pattern if desired.
   * Image/wipe Verify - dcfldd can verify that a target drive is a
     bit-for-bit match of the specified input file or pattern.
   * Multiple outputs - dcfldd can output to multiple files or disks at
     the same time.
   * Split output - dcfldd can split output to multiple files with more
     configuration possibilities than the split command.
   * Piped output and logs - dcfldd can send all its log data and output
     to commands as well as files.

This package is based on the original packlage of Dag Wiers, I have just
rebuild for Fedora and aligned it with Fedora Packaging guidelines.
Original package - http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/dcfldd/.
