What is MD5?
------------
 MD5 is a small utility that allows you to calculate checksums of
text- or binary files, using the "MD5 Message Digest Algorithm". (see
below) This version has been optimized for SPEED and is about 20%
faster than other implementations. It is also small (9988 bytes).

For example, the checksums of the MD5 utility look like this:
95 1a 8a 3b 64 7d 8f da 53 f7 9d fe 12 45 33 ab

 So, what is this useful for? Say, you're releasing a software
package including sources to the public and want to make sure, nobody
modifies your program (for example: add backdoors) and redistributes
the modified version. You could include the MD5 checksums of every
single file in the release archive and everybody could easily check
the validity of the files.
