Thanks again.  As you know, the papers have gone through.

I've applied your patch, as well as a couple others.
In addition to the src/md5sum.c change listed below,
I moved the four test scripts into tests/misc, rather
than leaving each in its own directory.

As I'm sure you realize, there's too much duplication
between lib/md5.c and lib/sha*.c.  Eventually, it'd be
good to factor out some of that.

        * Version 6.0-cvs.

        * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
