Provide free (BSD-2) versions of some non-free routines #12

As documented in #10, some files have a conflicted license and therefore cannot be distributed by Open Source Linux distributions. Since some of them are needed for others to function, this patch replaces them with free versions, as it is done in the Debian package. The files are written by Christer Sandin (who gave the permission) and me.
