SSL needs libcrypto/libssl to be compiled with dietlibc... (test still
pending!).

I have inserted a proper rpl_malloc in xmalloc to fulfill autoconf's
wishes for one.

I "stole" a proper getloadavg from GNU sh-utils, added a
HAVE_GETLOADAVG to configure.ac and now we might be even more portable
on this point!

Still dont know!

As a result I got a compile success with uClibc. (-: But I was not
able to successfully start it.  It starts but then it hangs somewhere
(... over the rainbow).
