Doesn't anyone around here read pgsql-general? :) I've been arguing for 
this over there since June of last year. I've also been signing the 
checksums with PGP and posting those to the mailing list. 

If this is done (and I am very glad to see a renewed interest forming), 
I'd like to see it done the correct way - it's too easy to get this wrong 
and could actually decrease the security of the project by providing a 
false sense of security. I think this list would be a good place to discuss 
how it would be implemented.
