But a cryptographic O'Caml module _signature_ system could be useful
for checking the integrity of applications. I always distribute my
work as source, but it would be useful if there was a way to check
that the sources have not been modified if someone sends in a bug
report.
Even better would be a fixed point condition that would allow to print
a warning message: ``The sources have been modified, you can do
anything you want, but don't blame me or the results.''
Cheers,
-Thorsten
