I suggest , that if its easy to dissect things like md5 hash function,
and other stuff which is not really falls in cryptography category
(and therefore not requires a paperwork mess under US laws) then you
can include it in image.
Then rest parts can be loaded separately by those who need more.

MD5 is just a hash function, no need to worry about, that it
contains/related to encryption technology. There are a plenty of
things which could use it (like computing checksums for compression).
