combining entropy

[IanG]

If I have N pools of entropy (all same size X) and I pool them
together with XOR, is that as good as it gets?

My assumptions are:

 * I trust no single source of Random Numbers.
 * I trust at least one source of all the sources.
 * no particular difficulty with lossy combination.
