  +) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
     If an EGD or PRNGD is running and enough entropy is returned, automatic
     seeding like with /dev/[u]random will be performed.
     Positions tried are: /etc/entropy, /var/run/egd-pool.
     If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
     entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
     be queried.
     The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
     /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
     when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
