Add a new merge strategy by Fredrik Kuivinen.

I really wanted to try this out, instead of asking for an adjustment
to the 'git merge' driver and waiting.  For now the new strategy is
called 'fredrik' and not in the list of default strategies to be tried.

The script wants Python 2.4 so this commit also adjusts Debian and RPM
build procecure files.
