Reliable checksums and reproducible packaging.

A responsible developer introducing a new tarball on the download server
a) checks it against the official checksum after download
b) creates the SHA256SUM of the file to use in download.lst

Any repacking invalidates that, specifically on a developer's machine
could introduce omissions or additions.
