Patch to remove ASL 1.1 part for GPLv2+ compatibility

By the way:

- speech-dispatcher (bug 432259), which depends on this bug, is
  licensed under GPLv2+.
  So to make use of speech-dispatcher the license of dotconf must
  be GPLv2+ compatible.

- However currently this package (dotconf) is licensed under 
  LGPLv2 and ASL 1.1 as build log shows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
-fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m32 -march=i386
-mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables 
-I/home/tasaka1/rpmbuild/SOURCES/dotconf-1.0.13-1.fc7/dotconf-1.0.13/libpool
-Wall -g  -o libdotconf.la -rpath /usr/lib -version-info 10:4:10     -release
1.0    -export-dynamic dotconf.lo readdir.lo  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
   and src/readdir.c is ASL 1.1
   Note that ASL 1.1 is GPLv2 incompatible, so this situation is not
   allowed.

   Fortunately for Linux as far as I checked the source code
   we can built this package without src/readdir.{c,h}. The attached
   file makes this package surely LGPLv2.
