     Independent implementation of MD5 (RFC 1321).

     This code implements the MD5 Algorithm defined in RFC 1321, whose

     text is available at

           http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1321.txt

     The code is derived from the text of the RFC, including the test suite

     (section A.5) but excluding the rest of Appendix A.  It does not include

     any code or documentation that is identified in the RFC as being

     copyrighted.

     The original and principal author of md5.h is L. Peter Deutsch

     <[email protected]>.  Other authors are noted in the change history

     that follows (in reverse chronological order):

     2002-04-13 lpd Removed support for non-ANSI compilers; removed

           references to Ghostscript; clarified derivation from RFC 1321;

           now handles byte order either statically or dynamically.

     1999-11-04 lpd Edited comments slightly for automatic TOC extraction.

     1999-10-18 lpd Fixed typo in header comment (ansi2knr rather than md5);

           added conditionalization for C++ compilation from Martin

           Purschke <[email protected]>.

     1999-05-03 lpd Original version.

   - Use binascii module to do the actual line-by-line conversion

     between ascii and binary. This results in a 1000-fold speedup. The C

     version is still 5 times faster, though.

   - Arguments more compliant with Python standard
