(1) In terms of the bundled(md5-$IMPLEMENTATION), which
$IMPLEMENTATION is this?
It is bundled(md5-plumb)
(2) Ideally I would like to replace this with a call to a library
(in
Fedora, I don't think this would be accepted upstream). But which
library should I use?
I'd probably use libgcrypt. However if the MD5 is not used for security
related purpose, which it should not be used for due to its brokenness
anyway, I am not sure it is worth it to replace the bundled copy with a
library call.
