I found this on the the source control diaries:

"2004-08-20 19:42:03 EDT; Nate Riffe; Makesums for rawwritewin

All I did was run 'make makesums'.  I haven't verified squat about this
modified upstream file.  I suspect that anyone meticulous enough to 
verify the
pristine non-infected non-trojaned integrity of everything they run on their
Windows system will do so themselves for this program all on their own, 
without
the use of our checksums.  I also suspect that such people are quite few in
number, and that the vast majority of Windows systems have far darker demons
lurking than whatever might conceiveably be concealed in this modified zip
file."

As it happens, I am the author of rawwritewin.  I modified the .zip file
to include the file COPYING which is a copy of the GPL.  Nothing
malicious going on.

John.
