Yes that works too.  But it's basically the same as reverting
the patch from Vegard since it makes the code use SHA1 again
even though we told it not too.

Perhaps we should just revert Vegard's change? Since it's kind
of pointless now that people are just using the underlying SHA1
algorithm directly through lib/crypto.
