I am adding an option to md5 to reverse the order of output.

From: MD5 (/COPYRIGHT) = 7df8bc77dcee71382ea73eb0ec6a9243

to: MD5 7df8bc77dcee71382ea73eb0ec6a9243 /COPYRIGHT

The reson for this addition is to aid visual diffs. They are much easier if the MD5 hashes are nicely lined up.

Good idea.

My question is what flag to use. "-r" for reversed output? "-v" for visual diff?

I'd prefer -r, since -v generally means "verbose", but don't feel strongly about it. ;^)
