It seems to me that, even if possible, it would be undesirable to read a 900Mb file into a variable just to get the md5 hash.

On Linux you can use the "md5sum" utility, on OSX the "md5" command (reputedly, haven't checked, may require XCode or some such package to be installed). On Win you may need to build your own utility - but there are many very simple, single file sources available, with no library dependencies, so you could build and distribute your own executable for Win32. (Or you could download the Microsoft utility to do this - fciv - from http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=841290 )
