  There is a reasonably fast implementation of md5 in elisp.  Check out
the latest url package.  Or I can send you the md5.el manually if you'd
like.  You can specify a maximum message size before it shells out to a
subprocess.  Pretty nice.  Plus XEmacs has builtin md5 support (not that
that helps with win32 (yet))
