[fpc-pascal] MD5 Hash of StringList

[Tony Whyman]

Be careful, the code below is codepage dependent. TStrings.GetTextStr 
does not inspect the codepage of each string and simply moves the 
characters into a common buffer. Fast, but the question is: are you 
using the hash to compare two string lists that are binary equivalent or 
two string lists that contain the same unicode characters. The code 
below only guarantees to answer the first question.
