ANN: python-mhash 1.0

[Gustavo Niemeyer]

Hello everyone!

Just a side note before introducing this interface to mhash. Even if
you're not interested in the hash algorithms by theirselves, this
extension is a nice example of usage of some of the new features
Python 2.2 offers at the C level, including subclassing of types.
