The format is used by the following programs:

md5sum.exe - e.g. http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/using_md5sums.html
md5 (windows and Un*x) - e.g. http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/

There are probably others that use the same format.

Having just the checksum is OK, as the files contain only a single hash.

What was not OK with the original format was the additional space,
which caused problems for at least one of the programs mentioned
above.
