[PATCH] Optionally, allow distros to use openssl for MD5 verification
...S library instead. It has an API just for
> hashing (NSSLOWHASH) which can be used with just one small library
> (freebl3) instead of the whole NSS stack.
And hence loosing all benefits from my patch, NSS does not have :
- Hardware assisted hashing
- NSSLOWHASH does not have documentation
- freedbl is not linked to any application in my full blow desktop, but
openssl libcrypto is used widely, hence at least its codepaths are
better excersized.
Personally I don't see any technical reason to use a different library
other than politics and obscure potential license incompatibilities.

[PATCH] Optionally, allow distros to use openssl for MD5 verification
This has the advantage of being more efficient than the included
routines and allows distros to centralize crypto mainteniance on
a few libraries.
