Shred Feature Request

[Matthew Heys]

We use Shred to wipe PC Hard Disks before sending them back at the end
of lease.
 
Would it be possible to add a switch to disable the (random) passes that
are done from /dev/urandom as these are massivly slower then the other
"Pattern" wipes. 
 
Something like -R for example and it will only use combinations of
0x000, 0xFFF, 0x555, 0xAAA, 0x249, 0x492, 0x6DB, 0x924, 0xB6D, 0xDB6,
0x111, 0x222, 0x333, 0x444, 0x666, 0x777, 0x888, 0x999, 0xBBB, 0xCCC,
0xDDD, 0xEEE, 0x1000, 0x1249, 0x1492, 0x16DB, 0x1924, 0x1B6D, 0x1DB6,
0x1FFF, 0x1111, 0x1222, 0x1333, 0x1444, 0x1555, 0x1666, 0x1777, 0x1888,
0x1999, 0x1AAA, 0x1BBB, 0x1CCC, 0x1DDD, 0x1EEE,
