Thanks!

You have cmsMD5alloc, cmsMD5add, cmsMD5finish in the plug-in API. This  
exposes the internal implementation of the MD5 algorithm. Good for  
embedded systems and situations whith scarce resources where code  
reuse is a big requirement.
Otherwise, carefull about MD5, which has been proven to be insecure. I  
use it because the ICC spec, but there are way better message digest  
algorithms.

Well, this is a way to give support to free software. The plug-in  
basically adds thoughput. With the core lcms2 you can do the same. If  
you do free free software you can use it for free. If you need this on  
commercial software, please contact me privately. There is a  
commercial license available at a reasonable fee.
