Summary: pycrypto and case-insensitive file systems

Initial Comment:
Using pycrypto-2.0.1 on case-insensitive file system (like Windows - encountered problem with python-2.4.2 on Interix) does not work, because Hash/MD5.py does 'import md5'.

Now python starts the search for 'md5' in same directory as the 'import' statement resides, and because of case-insensitive filesystem, it finds MD5.py again.

Same is for SHA.py, which does 'import sha', resulting in importing SHA.py again.

What does help here is to do the actual 'import md5' in a different directory, not containing MD5.py.

Attached patch creates subdir Hash/extmd5/__init__.py, doing the actual 'import md5', which lets python find the right 'md5' module, while Hash/MD5.py does 'import extmd5'.
