The 'sha512sum' command exists on both Debian and Amazon Linux (CentOS/RHEL
compatible), and so I would imagine it's available on most Linux distributions.
Mac OS X has 'shasum -a 512' which "mimics the behavior of GNU shaXsum"
(according to the man page).

As we use Apache Ant for building, why not just use <checksum>?
https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/checksum.html

It can be configured to use any of the proposed formats...

I don't believe shaXsum can do that. I can't get the Mac version to do it,
either. If sed/awk/etc can be relied upon, we can always cobble-together
whatever combination of strings we need to make the tools happy.

In what environments do we think that checksums will be verified?

Ant's <checksum> can verify a signature as well as generate one. Is Ant/JVM any
more/less trustworthy than shaXsum/openssl?
