Including other hash-functions

[Lars Strojny]

Hi,

as you know, MD5 and SHA1 are more or less broken so I guess it is time
to think about including other hash-functions in MySQL. First of all it
would be sensible to include SHA256 / SHA512, because they are designed
a bit different to SHA1 and though are more safe. Another issue is to
include completely new algorithms like tiger and whirlpool. 
Is there any possibility to do this without touching MySQL's source and
if not, are there any plans to include them?

Greets, Lars
