These instructions are very good. I'll include them in the next
revision of the RFC.
Those modules have now all been tagged. That was my mistake.
A Win32 md5sum program is available from http://etree.org/md5com.html
A Unix md5sum program is available from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/textutils/textutils-2.0.tar.gz
The BeOS, from their online documentation, appears to come with an
md5sum utility. If it doesn't then the GNU tools should work.
