Cryptographic hash implementations have a lot of fairly strict
requirements that make them extremely difficult to implement in a
language like LiveCode. For example, they have to run in _exactly_ the
same amount of time for the same number of bytes of input, no matter
what those bytes are.
It would be good to have an external that provides a nice variety of
cryptographic hashes, though.
