A base class which can be derived to handle new types of
hashes; this is the same kind of interface that is used by the md5
and sha modules (the moduels themselves act as hashers, see to
below). A hash is fed new data with the update method; the
current state of the hash can be requested with the digest method,
or in a text-printable version with hexdigest.
