Use of SHA-256 is going to require moving to Python 2.6 (bug 5573).  It
also depends on nailing down the reorganization of the depot directory
layout and the client-side download cache layout (bugs 7276, 7960).  So
it's a bit more than a couple lines of code.

This is all stuff that we'd been planning on tackling for 2010.02, though I
think we could probably use your skills better figuring out all the details
of the manifest signing plan.
