#3025: configure check for md5 fails Comment (by pdmef):
Well, it's only used to generate a checksum to match header cache files against which is computed once at compile time... Given the fact that mutt ships with a complete md5 implementation, it shouldn't be too difficult to solve this by building our own md5 checksum tool with a handful lines of C. For me this sounds far easier than making sure that what we think is the md5 checksum tool really does what it's supposed to (e.g. verify the md5 sum of a well known string or something like that). -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3025#comment:5>
