[Haskell-cafe] MD5?

Messy, but I don't see any disadvantage to doing it this way - if you
can control that the MD5SUM program is installed alongside your code.

Of course, there is the standard Crypto library for Haskell,
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/Crypto-3.0.3
- either:

1) it goes fast enough
2) it goes too slow and someone should make it go faster

Either way, it should go fast enough as soon as someone needs it to go faster.

Thanks
