There is in implementation of ceil in mochiweb's mochinum module,
floor is also trivial to write (especially given ceil as a template)
but mochiweb doesn't include it.

%% @spec int_ceil(F::float()) -> integer()
%% @doc  Return the ceiling of F as an integer. The ceiling is defined as
%%       F when F == trunc(F);
%%       trunc(F) when F < 0;
%%       trunc(F) + 1 when F > 0.
int_ceil(X) ->
    T = trunc(X),
    case (X - T) of
        Neg when Neg < 0 -> T;
        Pos when Pos > 0 -> T + 1;
        _ -> T
    end.
