Leonardo is looking for a verified MD5 hash value for the NH 2.1.2
distribution files so that he can verify to his management that they are
unaltered.

The verification process they are trying to use is badly flawed. If someone
can alter the distributed files thereby causing the MD5 hash check to fail,
those same individuals can also create a new MD5 hash to match the altered
code. An MD5 hash check is only useful for verifying that all of the file
was downloaded, but that integrity check is inherent in the zip file
process.

People have falsely advertised the MD5 hash check as being a security
function, rather than just an integrity function.
