Actually, I do expect to support other hashing schemes, but that
is part of "future work", not "the initial project". There is
more than one way to support them. If we use SHA-1 instead of
MD5 for a port, for instance, then that first string will be
longer. Or we could use a different section-name, which has
different info and is formatted differently.
Please note that the main idea here is to hide all those data-details
in the program which processes these pkg-data files, and thus the
main makefile rules would just say something like
"verify bash-2.05b.tar.gz",
and the program will decide what that means based on what the
program finds in the pkg-data file.

Yeah, that does seem a little dumb, now that you mention it.

Well, I'm just trying to see what ideas I can come up with.
