As you can see, I ditched going the pure APR route and wrote the
code (*holding nose*) with native calls.  It compiles on Solaris
and testrand works.  Please test on other platforms and commit
relevant portability fixes.  =)

At some point, we'll need to setup some type of hook to setup
the random number funcs so we can allow httpd/flood to specify
the EGD socket.  But, let's get this in now.  -- justin
