This might be the case for MD5. But I would like to point
out that in general I would strongly look at system-provided
crypto libs for one reason: Hardware support. There probably
is no MD5 hardware, but I am not sure I want to add
assembler to Samba to support the AES instructions.
System-provided libraries or even the kernel has a much
better chance to do this than we have.

With best regards,
