The settings.mk file gets included before the other package definitions, so 
it's likely to be over-ridden. I think we could change the package makefiles to:

$(PKG)_CHECKSUM ?: a1b2c3...

so that it gets set only if it isn't already. Alternately, a build script that 
sends these as command line args will work. The main problem with command line 
args is that they seem to propagate into each package makefile, but that should 
be harmless in this case.
