I think for most purposes both ideas would work and without getting a cryptographic export on board to find out which is the more secure method, I can't really comment on that.

Uh, I'm not a cryptographer either, so at the risk of sourding uninformed,
what's wrong with a two line script like:

Is your version much more secure than straight SHA1?
