While SHA-1 may not be the best thing to use to checksum arbitrary data,
the thing we're downloading has to pass through gzip, tar, and a full
python compile process, and our own tests on top of that.  Given all that,
and the fact that the checksums you've hardcoded in setup.py may or may not
be trustworthy in the first place makes me think that SHA-1 is just fine
for this particular application.
