Annotation of pgp/contrib/md5sum/readme, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: This utility computes MD5 checksums of files, ignoring end-of-line
        !             2: conventions unless the -b (binary) flag is set.  The file "pgp22.md5"
        !             3: contains the signatures of all the files in the source.  If you are
        !             4: in the source directory and run "md5sum -c pgp22.md5", you will get
        !             5: an error message if any files fail to match.  If all files match,
        !             6: nothing will be printed.
        !             7: 
        !             8: You need to borrow some files from the PGP sources to compile this
        !             9: utility (md5.c, md5.h, and possibly the getopt implementation);
        !            10: see the md5sum.c file for details.
        !            11: 
        !            12: The file pgp22.md5 is signed by one of the developers, so you can be
        !            13: reasonably sure it's correct.  It would be possible for a hard-working
        !            14: miscreant to fiddle with the distribution so all of this mutual checking
        !            15: would not show any errors, but it's not going to happen accidentally.
        !            16: And if you have a previous version of PGP that you trust, it's not going
        !            17: to happen at all.
        !            18: 
        !            19: The only other thing that's needed is a detached PGP signature of the
        !            20: md5sum.c file, and anyone with a previus version of PGP that they trust
        !            21: can be sure that no tampering has occurred anywhere, and that's here:
