md5, a program that calculates 128 bit checksum, most likely is
already on your system under /sbin/md5.  see md5(1) man
page for other details.  its syntax is...

# md5 [options] <-s string | files>

...in case above, i gave "xc/Wraphelp.c" file to md5 to calculate
its checksum w/o any options.  here, point of using md5 is to
identify whether your Wraphelp.c is different from mine (which did
not cause any problems for me).
