And yes, to argue the point from a security perspective, there is an
organization now (not sure if public or still NDA) that keeps an MD5

attachment.  The debate here then becomes be what sort of reputation
we're scoring, rather than the scoring itself (or at least the reference
database).

Compiling similar libraries isn't new, NIST has been doing it (NSRL) for
years.  http://www.nsrl.nist.gov/

How difficult would it be to modify the MD5 value to a benign value... camouflage so to speak.
