Folks,

Here's what came out for Mozilla, which, I hope you'll pardon my
saying so, is a teensy tad more widely used than PostgreSQL has any
plans to become.

I suggest that we start by putting secure hashing algorithms into the
core distribution so, should MD5 ever break, we have real
alternatives, and not done in a panic.

Cheers,
David.
