I've got time only today to merge the changes.
Now cvs holds all the changes, test works fine:

integrit: ---- integrit, version 4.0 -----------------
integrit:                      output : human-readable
integrit:                   conf file : test-9073/test.conf
integrit:                    known db : test-9073/known.cdb
integrit:                  current db : test-9073/curr.cdb
integrit:                        root : test-9073
integrit:                    do check : no
integrit:                   do update : yes
integrit: current-state db RMD160 --------------
integrit: ff01774c61cd1ea02dd18b79c09c73554ef54e18  test-9073/curr.cdb

yet the documentation needs to be updated before the release.
README should probably include the reasons of RMD160 choice.
faq and integrit infos mention MD5 and SHA1. I'd say to remove
entirely the hash name in the docs, use the generic term "checksum"
and include a small section to introduce the hash algorithm used.
Also mention somewhere that 4.0 breaks the db (not really,
but all checksums will differ). I don't have time to do it now,
so I think the release will wait until the end of the week.
