Hello,

  A non-salted md5 hash is:
# echo 'something like this' | md5sum
e374ab9257baad9f666f993dd84fae20

  I'll attach a copy of the previous md5 password patch - I've not
tried it with recent cvs, so it may need a bit of tweaking, but
worked last I'd tried it.  There are some applications that rely
on it (namely, weDBmail and our internal administrative stuff), so
if there's a new value for encryption_type (eg. 'md5+') it won't
require rewriting existing things to work again.

Thanks,
Jesse
