Dear textutils maintainer(s),
It would be useful for md5sum to have options to include date and
permission information in the generated hash.
This would allow (for example) convenient detection of files that are
identical not just in content but in these other ways as well.
The diff below, against textutils 2.0, is one way to do it.

+Also hashes produced on different systems using either of these options
+may not be usefully comparable, due to differences in the way different
