Add FS #10214. Initial commit of the original PDa code for the GSoC Pure Data plugin project of Wincent Balin. Stripped some non-sourcefiles and added a rockbox readme that needs a bit more info from Wincent. Is added to CATEGORIES and viewers, but not yet to SUBDIRS (ie doesn't build yet)

+Package: dbestfit - a dynamic memory allocator
+Date:    March 30, 2005
+Version: 3.3
+Author:  Daniel Stenberg <daniel@haxx.se>
+
+ I wrote the dmalloc part for small allocation sizes to improve the behavior
+of the built-in (first-fit) allocator found in pSOS (around 1996).
+
+ I wrote the bmalloc part (best-fit with splay-tree sorting) just for the fun
+of it and to see how good malloc() clone I could make. The quality of my
+implementation is still left to be judged in real-world tests.
+
+TODO:
+ * Remove the final not-so-very-nice loop in dmalloc.c that checks for a block
+   with free fragments (when the list gets longer too much time might be spent
+   in that loop).
+
+ * Add semaphore protection in bmalloc.
+
+ * Make a separate application that samples the memory usage of a program
+   and is capable of replaying it (in order to test properly).
