PPC defaults to unsigned char, not signed char.. and .. surprise, I can
see the file on x86. (the filename is legit.. I think they are chinese
characters)

Is this a client and server side hash? Can we just put a decent hash
function in?

Maybe we should turn on -werror.. I'll actually go verify this later
tonight (I hope)

Somone asked my why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/)
software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Shultz had the best answer:

"Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems? They do it
because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't. That's why
I draw cartoons. It's my life." -- Charles Shultz
