Unfortunately, I'm stuck with GLib 2.14 at the moment and the GChecksum is 
available from 2.16 on only.

Regarding the MD5 implementation in limbgimpmath, it would have been nice if I 
could use it, but I cannot as I have to produce an MD5 on the whole drawable, 
which means that I whould have to run gimp_md5_update() on every tile.
Yet, gimp_md5_init(), gimp_md5_update(), and gimp_md5_final() are declared as 
static (why ?), so I will have to use something else.

For now, I will therefore use the OpenSSL implementation of MD5 (also, why 
isn't limbgimpmath reusing the OpenSSL code for that purpose ?   Just a 
curious question...).
