[messaging] Test Data for the Usability Study

[Christine Corbett Moran]

Thanks for your hard work on this, just got back to it over the weekend
which is my crypto work week!

1. I was able to make in the pseudoword_testdata directory
2. I was able to from the highest level directory run genTestData.py (I
needed to chmod ./englishpoems_testdata/basic-english.pl to be executable
first)

I got some neat output. Here is a sample of what we have to look forward to:
crypto-usability-study corbett$ python genTestData.py

his strong pipe destroys the foot solidly
his stitch leaves secretly in his paint


his card moves to her violent cheese
his present pipe destroys the foot smoothly
our stitch studies kindly by his paint
