It's funny you say that,  I once considered doing exactly that.    I decided
not to however as I think it's messy.  it would be trivial to hack the
script to send the same checksum each time and it's not always going to work
anyway - if your binary is loaded via a shell script for instance you would
be checksumming the script, not the actual binary.     If your program is
called with different command line arguments (which some of mine did) you
essentially change the program without changing the binary.      I decided
it was too ambiguous and difficult to do right.

Since it is easily circumvented it seems like the best way is an advisory
system anyway.
