The time to bring this up was before the freeze for 10.0, a good 6+
months ago. It is way too late now.

However.. the code in libmd had had a non-commercial use restriction..
Even if it wasn't too late, that code won't be back.

Your best bet is to create a crypto/libmd2 port.  Start with the code
from openssl.
