Having finally become fed up with "cat *.md5 | md5sum -c" enough to do
something about it, I edited md5sum to allow "md5sum -c *.md5". sha1sum
is also affected by way of using the same code.
The patch is against 5.2.1 rather than CVS as I couldn't get it to
compile properly (autoconf version problems), but with only 7 lines
taken out and 9 added in it shouldn't be too hard to apply manually :)
