CHKs do use CHK, they just encode it in a wierd way.  In any case, I
think the best solution to the spitfile corruption issue would be for
there to be an Info.Checksum_SHA=blah field that is automatically
checked by clients that support it.  For the rest of the world, just
build a small java CLI program that goes along with the node that can
be run on a file to return its SHA hash in the same format as the
Info.Checksum_SHA field.
