MD5 for Squeak (was: Re: [squeak-dev] Re: Some question regarding portability)

Hi All,

I think that works.  The basic separation from core and extra functionality
is a good move.  3 packages is better than dozens.  I know that Andreas also
made a SqueakSSL repository which is specifically for TLS/SSL.  That
certainly works since it will get used there and fixed but it is also likely
that SSL will bit rot here if everyone is focused there.  It might make
sense to move our SSL and cert stuff to Andreas' repository (if there is
anything still here that is needed by developers that doesn't exist there
and Andreas wants it, or include his package here with the rest)  and focus
on Core functions here?

In general cleaning things up so that what we have posted works is a good
idea.  If we can get things loaded by default, and have other things
loadable in small understandable packages, then that works for me too.

Other thoughts?
