[Bug classpath/22640] gnu.java.security.provider.MD5 should extend java.security.MessageDigest

[gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org]

As of 6/23/2002, gnu.java.security.provider.MD5 extended
java.security.MessageDigestSpi, rather than java.security.MessageDigest.  This
doesn't seem useful, and I believe that MessageDigest.getInstance() depends on
being able to cast an MD5 object into a MessageDigest.

>From what I understand from looking at the Sun API docs,
java.security.MessageDigestSpi exists only to define the interface to the hash
algorithm that MessageDigest makes use of in its implementation.

Correct. I have fixed this in CVS.
Thanks for pointing this out.
