If you have a more general desire to write C-based extensions and call
them from AppleScript, then I saw some others offer advice, from using
simple C apps via Do Shell Script, or building Scripting Additions. If you
just need to checksum data/files, though, there's a built in "md5" command
on all OSX machines, which you can call from AppleScript via do shell
script - only, of course, if that tool does what you want.
