While working on the windows ports, I asked Sara about the mhash

ext/hash completely and emulate it in ext/hash to keep the BC. It
could even a configuration flag if one likes to be sure to clean his
code to use only the hash APIs.
The mhash extension features some more versions of some algorithms:
http://mhash.sourceforge.net/ But why bother changing it?
Which algo(s) (or algo version) is not supported by ext/hash? I did
not spot one after a quick read.
sha192 and sha224

I've not heard of any issues about ext/mhash.
My main reasons would be to do not have to maintain ext/mhash and the
libmhash Windows port.
Cheers,
I'm happy to see us removing a dependency, especially if it makes thigns
easier to build on Windows.
