[ydl-gen] thank you

Sorry for the top-post, but...

Have you tried 'openssl dgst -sha1 <isoname>' ?  I'm not in front of my OS
X box right now so I don't remember if it works the same way there, but
this is how I do the checksums on my Linux box.  I believe some versions
of openssl equate that with the 'openssl sha1 <isoname>' command you tried
below as well.

 Yes frustration does exist. !.
