smtp/imap authentication require md5

Do Emacs 21 have a `md5' command?  The md5.el that is floating around
doesn't seem to be copyrighted by FSF, so that may be a problem.

I'd volunteer to write a elisp wrapper around the common "md5sum"
binary if you think it's a good idea to include that.  Or if we can
use the C source from RFC 1321 I could add that to the C level of
Emacs with a elisp interface.  See license below.

Some of Gnus's IMAP/POP authentication methods need md5, and my SMTP
Authentication work for smtpmail.el also need md5.
