new ebuild for app-misc/rdfind-1.3.5

I am attaching an ebuild for a new package, app-misc/rdfind-1.3.5.

rdfind stands for "redundant data find" and it is a tool to find duplicate files and then delete, symlink or hardlink the duplicates.

rdfind is similiar to app-misc/fdupes, app-arch/duff and app-misc/fslint that are already on portage, but as differentials, it is much much faster and more memory efficient (written in C and implements an smart algorithm that does inode indexing).

It also has an option to produce a results file that is very easy to parse, in case you want to do any thing more complex or customized with your duplicate files than deleting/linking them. (This was actually my motivation to create this ebuild, I needed this utility to find the duplicates and then it was very easy to write scripts in python and shell to handle the outputs file).

I also got really impressed by it's speed in handling almost 1TB of files in a server (around 20min whereas others took hours).
