[wpkg-users] MD5 hash

[Michael Chinn]

At present I have added packages to wpkg using bat & perl scripts that 
download a zip of the program, check the MD5, extract, run and then 
delete the zip/temp files. This allows for disconnections during 
installations, partially downloaded files fail the checksum and are 
downloaded again until they work. That got me thinking if some of this 
functionality could be incorporated into wpkg directly, specifically the 
MD5sums of the installer command (I use the gnu md5sum.exe port). I 
would offer some code however my knowledge only extends (at the moment) 
to bat files and perl.
