Totally agree... the news about SHA-1 made me want to look up Python's
cryptographic functions as a curiosity.  SHA-1 isn't going away any
time soon.  A new hashing method won't even be picked by NIST until
2011.

It's still early, but I think adding support for hashlib is good,
especially since Python appears to be deprecating anything else.

As an extra option, could we also add support for sha-256 in
contrib.auth if folks would prefer that?
