Patch

Estimate distinct count of values from standard input. Provides a very fast=
 way
to perform unique count estimates on the command line.

The edcount program implements HyperLogLog, with some minor modifications, =
as
detailed by by Flajolet et. al. in the paper "HyperLogLog: the analysis of a
near-optimal cardinality estimation algorithm".

Additionally, the memory footprint of the program is constant, at a few
megabytes. This memory use is constant regardless of the number of records
counted, and does not degrade in accuracy.

NOTE: this is my first attempt at a new port from scratch, please be kind.
