++ACK

With more powerful hardware and crazy crypto-gurus developing new attacks
against existing algorithms all the time, using 2 different methods makes
sense. Overall, security is more important than speed since syscheckd is not
time critical. 

Relying on any 1 technology when multiple are available doesn't make sense.
