Spiff. Considering that it is a short pair of strings being hashed, an
RFC822-style date and a shared secret word or short phrase, blazing-fast
speed is not a requirement.

Problem: this is, AFAIK, not part of the standard Emacs distribution, so
it's an external dependancy that pop3 cannot be certain exists. This is
something I tried to avoid since I initially wanted RMS to include pop3
in the main distribution (he declined, citing 'lack of modularity').
Then again, md5sum is not a standard in all operating systems that Emacs
runs on :).
