sure, I know that; but in the sense of user-friendly tools I (and most
likely many other users too) would really appreciate if md5sum / sha1sum
could support more of these other crappy formats as input ...
I've summarized what I've found so far about the different tools and
their output formats:

personally md5sum / sha1sum are my preferred tools, but since I come
every now and then over other formats I've now hacked my Perl script
which automatically detects those crappy formats I get from other places
where I have no control about what I get.
thanks, Gün.
