1008: Centralize random numbers. If ELinks is being linked with SSL library, use its random number generator. Otherwise, try /dev/urandom and /dev/prandom. If they do not work, fall back to rand(), calling srand() only once. This fallback is mostly interesting for the Hurd and Microsoft Windows. BitTorrent piece selection and dom/test/html-mangle.c still use rand() (but not srand()) directly. Those would not benefit from being unpredictable, I think.

[mozjs24] Allow build elinks with g++ SpiderMonkey was updated to mozjs24. If you want to build elinks with ecmascript support, you must compile using g++ with -fpermissive . There is a lot of warnings. There are some memleaks in ecmascript code, especially related to JSAutoCompartment. I don't know yet, where and how to free it. Debian does not support mozjs24, so I'm going to gradually update SpiderMonkey version.
