Try this one.  It works for me ;-)

http://cvs.linux-ha.org/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/~checkout~/linux-ha/lib/plugins/HBauth/md5.c?rev=1.1&content-type=text/plain

Sorry for the funky URL, but that's viewcvs for ya.

There's also a crc and an md5 algorithm in the same directory:

http://cvs.linux-ha.org/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/linux-ha/lib/plugins/HBauth/#dirlist

It's got some boilerplate for a plugin loading system that we use, but it's
easy to see what to call for the MD5 function if you want.
