[RADIATOR] Digest::SHA

Hi  All,

Until now, Radiator and other products in the family used a mixture of 
Digest::SHA and Digest::SHA1, sometimes optionally and sometimes absolutely.

We recently issued patches for Radiator and friends to always use Digest::SHA 
instead of Digest::SHA1. We think this will make installation easier for most 
implementers:

Digest::SHA has more features, and is now included standard with modern Perl 
distros. By comparison, Digest::SHA1 is now not readily available for some 
Linux distros.

So we have elected to use _only_ Digest::SHA, and it will now be an absolute 
prerequisite (not an optional one).

These changes are in the latest patch set and will be in the next release 
4.10, due out soon.
