Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):

 well i use it on the databases accessed by different apps and different
 languages - it all works the same as long as they share the salt.  md5 and
 concatenation aren't implemented differently between programs.

 right now there are a bunch of sites that have the dictionary md5'd, along
 with a sampling of permutations and word concatanations.  type in an md5,
 and it looks for a reverse mapping.  using a site secret as a salt offsets
 this

 the way i suggest it be implemented makes this optional -- None will be
 returned if the value is unset  -- so you won't be forced to use it.  but
 if you do use it, the public dictionaries will be pretty much useless at
 reverse mapping your digests.
