[ydl-gen] YDL 5.0.1 on an Xserve

[Derick Centeno]

Hi all:

Regarding the md5sum, I hope that everyone is aware that within OS X  
Tiger invoking the md5sum algorithm means:

$md5 filename

I don't know why Apple chose to do that; you should know however,  
that they did.

A discussion regarding these changes by Apple occurred on either this  
or the newbie list a while back.

Best of Luck...
