sha1sum problem

[Bryan Quigley]

I'm going to look at adding the SHA256SUM for all the files in
download.lst.  It looks like we can add them without breaking
anything.  Then we can test out how we want to switch or if we need to
support both for a bit (platform dependent?).

Thoughts?
Bryan

(Of course, technically my SHA256SUMs will be based on the existing
HTTP download and MD5SUM...)
