I just did some experiments and it seems that we just need two
changes:

- change parsemd5 so that it doesn't complain about too many
  characters

- change the checkfilemd5/checkprelinked functions so that they
  use the alroeithm specified in the header's FILEDIGESTALGO
  tag.

We would compare only the first 16 bytes of the sha256 sums,
but that should be no problem as it's not a security relevant
check.

Cheers,
  Michael.
