We exit if getopt() finds any options in argv[] so optind == 1 here and
since we check for argc < 2 before this this if is never true.

Here as well optind == 1 by definition.

Well if we bother with strtol() we may check that argv[1] != '\0' and
end == '\0' which will ensure that whole parameter was a valid string.

Here as well use just 2 instead of optind + 1.

Well we may also do:

	rval = (min > max) ? rand_range(max, min) : rand_range(min, max);

In the code below instead, but that is merely cosmetic.

We should just return 0 here since the return value is limited to one
byte. Exporting interface that works only in certain cases is a recipe
for a disaster.
