Torque MD5 Hash

This is a plea to anyone out there who might care to listen (stop walking away.... :/ )

An MD5 hash is a popular way of checking if files or text strings are the same. It is very usful as it is built into PHP.

If we had am MD5 hash function in torque we would be able to do a number of things. Just to name a few:
- Authentification string checking
- Checking that client file CRC's match server files (to prevent cheating)
- many other applications.


The MD5 C++ code is available in source code and is public domain and freely available for use. My problem, is I simply do not have the ability to be able to put it into torque (there! I said it! Im an incapable git!)

This is a plea for someone out there to build it into torque. I can send you the c++ source if you require it ...just email me.

Thanks guys.
