Replaced all files with the ones in the rMD-exp module.

(this should have been a branch not a module, but it's
too late now. rMD-exp module will be purged but if anyone's
interested on the not-so descriptive commit logs, they'll be on the attic.
This is the start of the 0.3 branch. Files will will be tagged as v0_3_0
in a new branch before final release. Snapshot prior to this release has
tagged as v0_2_7 in a new branch. All releases will be tagged and branched from
now on.
