I'll obviously be willing to support those features that I've added, 
particularly when any release candidate is issued and if any problems arise.

Don't release just yet though, there's probably one other change I'd 
like to include for 3.1.3 - eliminating calls to sleep() in the gmetad 
threads, and making the randomization more reliable for lower intervals 
(making it a percentage of the interval rather than an absolute value).  
Any preference for nanosleep or apr_sleep?  I notice that apr doesn't 
appear to be used from within gmetad/*.c, and I wasn't sure why.
