Sounds like we need an all-singing-all-dancing shaXsum that will
automatically detect and use the right algorithm based on digest size
when checking (and can automagically use the right algorithm for
computing digest when symlinked as sha{1,224,256,384,512,x}sum or
called with --size <bits> option).
