I have no problem with adding such command.
I'm not the crypto expert so you must maybe help me understand...

So,

  set hash [ns_sha1 my_secret_string]

gives me the hash value

But, I can imagine:

  set hash [ns_md5 my_secret_string]

to be of the same functionality, or?

So, what I'd maybe do is:

  set hash [ns_hash sha1 my_string]
  set hash [ns_hash md5 my_string]

or something similar. 

We have made the md5 hash extension for us already.
I have it in one of the numerous modules we have
written for AS. I can imagine we can invent a 
wrapper command which would server as a central hashing
repository.
