Replaced the original MIT license with a new BSD-style license.

Chris Hanson from MIT Scheme granted the new license in a private
email on 12 Dec 2003.

In addition, I added a private email from Olin, saying that the MIT
code has nothing in common with MIT Scheme anymore.

+;;; This code has nothing in common w/the MIT code. Just check it out.
+;;; The only connection is (1) some of the API design and (2) the basic
+;;; data-structure (a 256-elt string of \000 & non-\000 chars), which is
+;;; obvious art. I was being overly generous when I included the MIT copyright.
+;;; The system was completely rewritten for the 2000 SRFI reference version;
+;;; I should have removed the MIT notices then. In particular, as a casual
+;;; examination will show, the implementation of the common API is *quite* 
+;;; different -- I don't even mean at the in-the-small level, but at the
+;;; medium-level architectural/structural details.
