If you have /home/pki/, start EGD as "egd.pl /home/pki/egd-pool". This
will create a UNIX socket file with the name provided.

The information in the header file is used from within the C-files,
so the C-files affected have to be recompiled.
If you type "make" again, the files in question will be recompiled.
As e_os.h (containing system dependent definitions) is probably used
by all parts, you are going to recompile more or less all of OpenSSL.
