But... /usr/include/sys/md5.h _is_ used by userland code.
It happens that /usr/include/md5.h just includes it, but...
The hope is that if there are speed optimizations for md5 for some
type of hardware, if it is changed in one place it just works
everywhere.
I don't know how useful that is for md5.
