The API you are using is actually considered too low-level to use from a plug-in. gimp_pixel_rgn provides a nice abstraction level on top of it. But if you get along with it, there's nothing wrong with that. > > The GIMP MD5 implementation was added specifically for the purpose of > > implementing the thumbnail spec.

Use of the MD5 API in libgimpmath will even be deprecated starting with GIMP 2.6. GLib now provides this functionality.

It can't be made configurable as important, if not vital, functionality of GIMP depends on it.
