It still would have been nice to do Base-32 instead Base-16 hex,
but it doesn't matter now that it's released without that feature.
And I guess shorter Portfiles (52 versus 64 characters) isn't as
important as compatibility with other external checksumming tools.

Unfortunately sha256(1) is still disabled in Apple's libmd, but
you can use "shasum -a 256" if you need a non-MacPorts version...
About the "set default_checksum_types {rmd160 sha256}" output,
do you still need to keep rmd160 around as a second checksum line ?
