checksum file for LEB images

Hi,

Currently Linaro is not providing checksum file for LEB images.
For example,
http://releases.linaro.org/12.03/android/leb-panda/
has MD5SUM files but it contains value for only
boot.tar.bz2, system.tar.bz2 and userdata.tar.bz2.

There is no equivalent for the most important file which is LEB image:
panda-ics-gcc46-tilt-tracking-blob.img.gz

It would be more user friendly if we have md5 or sha1 checksum
file for LEB image since not all people have good Internet connection
and would likely to check integrity of large downloaded file after
taking very long time.

My preference of the name convention of the checksum file is:
panda-ics-gcc46-tilt-tracking-blob.img.gz
   <- original binary image
panda-ics-gcc46-tilt-tracking-blob.img.gz.md5sum
   <- md5sum hash file

Regards,

Akira
