NetBSD and OpenBSD have this function in their libc, FreeBSD and opensolaris have this function in a bundled libmd with the system. Linux is the only system it doesn't come with and it can be installed on most systems as libmd or libbsd (this one is deprecated). It's not a very painful band-aid to rip off.

Thank you for your time,

Well, of the 9 systems I build tested this on, only freebsd12 and freebsd13 completed successfully.  Ubuntus, RHEL 8, netbsd and openbsd all failed.

The ubuntus I think need libmd-dev.  No idea about the others and I don't have time at the moment to find out.  So, in principle I'm not opposed to this patch, I just don't have time currently to go hunting for the right combination of things to pass build on my systems.

Perhaps next weekend I'll have the time to spend.  Ot, if you could at least tell me what going to be needed on these (non-ubuntu/debian) systems, that would save me some time.

I made a second attempt at this and made the configure script detect which library has md5, this manages to work for dtcm and dtmail, it should be much more portable than before. I don't think that ~1300 LOC that we no longer have to maintain is a small gain, there is already a huge amount of code to maintain, if someone else is working on an exact copy and distributing it as a library it only makes sense to use theirs.


But are you willing to go through the wikis for each OS and update them with the names of the proper packages that need to be installed?
