Both of you telling the same thing is enough for me to discard this
new stuff. I'd like to refactor the code anyway as that's a nice
cleanup, and this would have the advantage to make people look at
cryptohashfuncs.c if introducing a new type. After sleeping about it,
I think that I would just make MD5 and SHA1 issue an elog(ERROR) if
the internal routine is taken in those cases, like in the attached.
If there are any comments or objections to the refactoring piece,
please let me know.
