Cygwin md5sum puts a space then an asterisk in front of filenames, Linux
version puts two spaces.

E.g.:

Linux$  echo | md5sum
68b329da9893e34099c7d8ad5cb9c940  -
Cywgin$ echo | md5sum
68b329da9893e34099c7d8ad5cb9c940 *-

I see "md5sum -c" accepts either two spaces or space plus asterisk.

Why the difference in output formats?  Does it matter?
