+// This code implements the MD5 message-digest algorithm.
+// The algorithm is due to Ron Rivest.  This code was
+// written by Colin Plumb in 1993, no copyright is claimed.
+// This code is in the public domain; do with it what you wish.
+//
+// Equivalent code is available from RSA Data Security, Inc.
+// This code has been tested against that, and is equivalent,
+// except that you don't need to include two pages of legalese
+// with every copy.
+//
+// To compute the message digest of a chunk of bytes, declare an
+// MD5Context structure, pass it to MD5Init, call MD5Update as
+// needed on buffers full of bytes, and then call MD5Final, which
+// will fill a supplied 16-byte array with the digest.
