Opening a file in binary mode and iterating it seems like the simple solution
but will still break on newlines, which for binary files isn't really useful as
the size of the chunks could be huge or tiny.

Instead, let's be a bit more clever: we'll be MD5ing lots of files, but we don't
want to fill up memory: use mmap() to open the file and read the file in 8k
blocks.

shouldn't this go to the bitbake mailing list ?
