I'm adopting these patches.  Thank you.  I'll do some testing first,
obviously, but they should show up before LISA, hopefully.

Do you think I should just keep the checksumming the way it is, or should
I switch to Digest::MD5 or something?  I could rewrite the summing such
that if Digest::MD5 weren't available, I would just skip the sums.  I've
known this was going to be a problem, but I didn't bother trying to fix it
until someone actually ran into it.  You're the lucky one. :)  But one of
my clients is about to run into it, also, so this is well timed.

I didn't even know you had an installation.  Hmmm.  Are you not using the
new parser?  It is tons faster (a factor of 8, at least).

Anyway, thanks for the patches.  Hopefully we can talk at LISA.
