One reason I believe it has not made it into the image is that a request was made by SqC a few months back to try and refactor SHA and MD5 functionality to take advantage of their similarities, but neither I nor anyone else found the time to do so. I agree that it should probably be part of the image.
The "integration issue" that I heard of (while talking with John and Stephan) was to take advantage of John's SHA/DSA plugin speed and avoid having an additional MD5 plugin. The DSA plugin was then replaced by the general purpose LargeInteger plugin, eliminating the need for special purpose plugins for either SHA or MD5.
As far as I know, there are no outstanding integration issues.
