I agree, but the md5 example was just an example. I use several other
programs as well and there is not such a library/possibility for all.
Secondly, as some of these processes have to run with privileges, I need
to use AuthExecuteWithPrivileges() if I do not want to turn my entire app
into a privileged operation (and I don't as I follow the principle that
privileged operations should be kept to an absolute minimum).
