Ah, I remember why I use GPG; that's a savannah requirement that they
put in place after a break-in.  I think, when I looked at it, there
wasn't an obvious cross-platform checksum program.  To me, that's one of
those things that if someone else does the work I'd be fine with adding
it, but it's not worth it for me to do it.
