"""
    VirtualMailManager.pycompat.hashlib

    VirtualMailManager's minimal hashlib emulation for Python 2.4

    hashlib.md5(...), hashlib.sha1(...), hashlib.new('md5', ...) and
    hashlib.new('sha1', ...) will work always.

    When the PyCrypto module <http://www.pycrypto.org/> could be found in
    sys.path hashlib.new('md4', ...) will also work.

    With PyCrypto >= 2.1.0alpha1 hashlib.new('sha256', ...) and
    hashlib.sha256(...) becomes functional.
