I think using Nettle is a wise decision; however, it’s a decision for
upstream to make IMO.  I’m not comfortable with shipping custom
md5.{cpp,h} and CMakeLists.txt; to me, we’d be taking a bit too much of
upstream’s burden and delivering something that’s quite different.

Apart from that, the last patch you sent LGTM.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
