Hi all, I finished my own MD5 implementation today and decided to boostify it. It's not header only which is slightly inconvenient but Jamfiles, Docs and Tests are provided. Comments on the interface and other things are welcome!

just extract it to your boost directory and run 'bjam md5'
At a glance, it looks a useful addition to the Boost repertoire. Two questions: 1 Is it bound to be header-only? Or is it just that you haven't tried to make it header-only? 2 Some references to vulnerability as a security feature would be useful. Is this a weakness in its role as tamper-evident packaging, or in other applications?
