bootstrap, sha1sum, gsha1sum and such things?

[Thomas Treichl]

Hi,

I'm just wondering what currently is happening on my Mac if I try to compile a 
recent tip. It seems to me that tere appeared a new bootstrap file that is 
looking for programs like sha1sum and such - stupid question: what for?

The other thing is that on my Mac 10.4 system I don't have the one or the other 
- if I take a look at the internet then it seems that sha1sum is part of the 
coreutils package? If yes, then I'm out of the game with my 10.4 system because 
 a coreutils update on my machine is a task that is too big for me.

Is a working gnulib already needed?

Regards,

  Thomas
