Hi,
here's based on input from Rainer and RĂ¼diger my last trial unless I get
further positive comments instead of disappointing ones ...
highlighted:
http://people.apache.org/~fuankg/testchecksum/testchecksums.sh.html
plaintext:
http://people.apache.org/~fuankg/testchecksum/testchecksums.sh.txt
with .sh extension for download:
http://people.apache.org/~fuankg/testchecksum/testchecksums.sh

tested on:
- Linux (OpenSuSE) with openssl, gpg, md5sum / sha1sum
- FreeBSD (p.a.o) with openssl and md5 / sha1

it will most likely also work correctly on MacOSX.

If there's acceptance, and we commit it, I will also write some lines to explain how to use the common spreaded checksum tools to verify tarballs
which we can then either add to the download page; or better add a
separate static html page, and link to it from download page.


whatever... I don't care whether the output is from md5 or md5sum or from
openssl md5. The format doesn't matter, it's the hash. And it's just to
make sure that all the bits downloaded OK.
