 After reading this:

 I'm asking: what about adding the function to SCUMMVM for calculating MD5
 and eliminate the need of external tools, especially for users of Windows?
 Just call something like this from command line:


 {{{
 scummvm --calculate-md5=<file>,<length>
 }}}


 and your value is printed. Technically, SCUMMVM can already calculate MD5
 from a file and adding this feature is not so difficult in my opinion.
