Aaron Gifford's SHA-2 implementation from
http://www.adg.us/computers/sha.html has been installed in
outland for the current Linux and Solaris platforms. It can
calculate the SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 crytographic
message digests (checksums).
Usage: sha2 [options] [<file>]
Options:
-256 Generate SHA-256 hash
-384 Generate SHA-284 hash
-512 Generate SHA-512 hash
-ALL Generate all three hashes
-q Quiet mode - only output hexadecimal hashes, one per line
SHA-256 (only) can also be calculated with "gpg --print-mds".
I applied the homegrown patch so it doesn't segfault when
reading from stdin. Source, patch, and build notes are
available at /mit/outland/src/sha2
