OK, I went ahead and implemented a -i option. I also
retouched the man pages about checksums, explaining the three modes of
operation (no options, -c specified, and -i specified). It is a fatal
error to specify both -c and -i: you cannot require the validity of
checksums you are ignoring.
I also added a section explaining in detail the issues related
to selecting a checksum strategy to install.texi. It includes
inetd.conf examples of the BSD utilities for several different
possible configurations.
If there are any minor details, then either fix them yourself
or tell me what you want done.
I'm still looking at a way of presenting a useful error
message to the client if neither -c or -i are specified, and the
client appears to be an old-style client.
