sys/contrib is good for this, but sys/gnu might be even better since it is GPL'd.

Okay, can do. The subsequent diffs I had queued up build upon this one, so those will have to wait until I move this to sys/gnu as I'll be away for a few days. Sorry about that!

I don't think that we want new GPL'ed code in base ?

I think the official policy is "Ask core first" to be included in the base, with a fallback to a port to load it as a module.
