totalproperty and todir attributes for checksum task

           Summary: totalproperty and todir attributes for checksum task
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6Alpha (nightly)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: aslak@thoughtworks.net


This patch adds two useful optional attributes to the chacksum task:

totalproperty="someprop" -> This will store an aggregated checksum for all 
checksums (plus the relative filenames in the passed fileset(s). This is useful 
for creating a checksum for a set of files.

todir="somedir" -> This will write the checksum files to a different directory. 
This is useful if you want to avoid polluting the folders containing the files 
for which checksums are calculated.

Finally, all references to md5 files have been renamed from *.md5 to *.MD5, 
since this is the correct case for the generated files.

This patch includes source, testcases and updated documentation. Tested on 
WinXP and Linux.
