BLUE RIBBON AWARD to Toshihiro Kanda for the best solution (IMHO)!

Actually, this is not necessarily true. If you name them in the description, mtree(8) will happily check regular files as well. Indeed, the reason why I implemented the `md5sum' option a year ago was with the hope that someone (i.e., Jordan) would take the hint and add the appropriate mtree commands to the distribution builds so that we can have a published reference for what the MD5s of all the distributed files are supposed to be.

Oops! I'm sorry but I considered only /etc/mtree/* files in this case. I should have say "/etc/mtree/* files will help you ..."
