The PHP md5 function returns the same value used by BF. 'md5sum', on the 
other hand, does not. I'm really not sure why. However, I found a nifty 
JS based md5 utility. You could point users to this, and they can then 
determine their md5hash without installing anything, and without sending 
anything over the internet:
