Summary:  gnu.java.security.provider.MD5 should extend 
java.security.MessageDigest

Original Submission:  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.
