[vlc-devel] [PATCH 02/14] src: add cleaner md5 API

Hi,

The API looks ok, except that the hex conversion seems out of place. However, I don't get why MD5 is even used anymore. Which use cases actually require MD5, as opposed to a generic hash function, here?

>This API is intended to replace the existing MD5 hashing API.
>It uses properly prefixed functions and has documentation.
