md5sum and binary vs. text

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I really hate the fact that md5sum and friends output * for binary files, and blank for text files, when used on cygwin or other platforms where O_TEXT matters. This poor choice of defaults makes 'make sc_immutable_NEWS' fail, because md5sum outputs:
