17 Seeing you're feeling lonely, I'll add my 2 cents.

19 I still don't like the UMD5 followed by a duplicate MD5. I don't particularly
20 like the MD5 database either. How about adding UMD5 to the main tree's
21 individual digests? If the MD5 doesn't match, uncompress the file and compare
22 against the UMD5 if one is available. That would prevent duplicate
23 information as well as side-stepping the recompression issue in one shot.
