Any interest in a -jN option (like gmake) for an md5sum -c
operation?  It's starting to look like our embedded system
is going to be checking a file manifest at boot time, and
we're on a dual-core MIPS so -j2 could cut the startup impact
in half.  I envision just forking off children to do the
individual file checks in parallel, I don't expect it to
turn into very much code.  (And would apply to sha1sum
as well, I'd expect.)
