I believe the "plan" for md5 and sha1 and such is to use the much
faster openssl versions "in the future" (based on a long thread
debating future interfaces to such things on python-dev last summer).
That'll sidestep any tedious license issue and give a better
implementation at the same time.  i don't believe anyone has taken the
time to make such a patch yet.
