Actually, this is not necessarily true.  If you name them in the
description, mtree(8) will happily check regular files as well.
Indeed, the reason why I implemented the `md5sum' option a year ago
was with the hope that someone (i.e., Jordan) would take the hint and
add the appropriate mtree commands to the distribution builds so that
we can have a published reference for what the MD5s of all the
distributed files are supposed to be.
