hashes-openssl-002.patch  replaces the sha and md5 modules
with a general hashes module that wraps all hashes that
OpenSSL supports.

note that OpenSSLs implementations are much faster than the
previous python versions as it choses versions optimized for
your particular hardware.

Incase python is compiled without openssl the hashes wrapper
falls back on the old python sha and md5 module implementations.

side note: This may be sufficient for the Debian folks to
work around their random odd licensing issue.  just have
debian python depend on openssl; use this and remove the old
md5 module/code that wouldn't get used anyways.
