coreutils 4.5.1: md5sum --string is undocumented

[Uwe H. Steinfeld]

Hello bug-coreutils,

I hope this is a correct reporting address. address@hidden
doen't seem to be working, yet. I also failed to subscribe to a (new)
mailing list via the standard address@hidden).

My suggestions for dcoumenting the --string option of md5sum in the
usage() message and the coreutils.texi are the following
(same for textutils 2.x):

        * src/md5sum.c (usage): document --string option.

I leave it to a native speaker to enhance the texinfo text.
