I just noticed that the 'stdint' module was GPL.  Would it be possible
to re-license it?  Otherwise I'll just 'unsigned char*' or 'void*' for
hmac-md5.  Given the potential problems with multi-byte char's, I'm
leaning towards void* right now, unless someone can re-assure me that
'unsigned char*' work portably.

Has anyone used md5_buffer from the md5 module on a platform with char
that is larger than 1 byte?  Does it work?  Looking at the code, I
suspect some potential endianness problem, since it uses 'memcpy' to
move 'char*' buffers around.

Thanks,
