need idl, and need wrapping so javascript (or python or ...) can use the md5 
functions from nss.

The only question i can think of is should the md5 funcitons be limited to 
chrome users or could an html page be allowed access to them (probably not?)

marking future until we're lobbied for 2.1
Reporter, cc list are there specific bugs that would be blocking on this?
I've have to check on whether this is even possible.

Why wouldn't this be possible? If MD5 is exposed in an XPCOM interface, then we
can make it callable from JS. And why should it be limited to chrome users? Why
not let web scripts call it too?

nsISignatureVerifier (under mozilla/caps) exposes MD5 to JavaScript.  Is this
bug fixed?

Mass change "Future" target milestone to "--" on bugs that now are assigned to
nobody.  Those targets reflected the prioritization of past PSM management.
Many of these should be marked invalid or wontfix, I think.

*cough* *cough*

none of the functions on that interface are scriptable, nor is that interface.

this is a trunk build, some modifications are pending/posted (e.g. xpcshell is 
using its own scriptsecuritymanager because soap sucks)

It seems the work will happen on bug 292368; adding dependency to keep this
bug's dependency-list (rather than resolving this as a dupe).
