利用Windows API来计算MD5的MFC例程.计算MD5时主要用到了CryptAcquireContext、CryptCreateHash两个API

================================================================================
    MICROSOFT FOUNDATION CLASS LIBRARY : MfcMD5Calculator Project Overview
===============================================================================

This application computes the MD5 digest of files.

The input file can be selected from the app main dialog box, or it can be
drag-and-drop'ed by the user.

The MD5 computation is done by a "background" worker thread.
(See CMfcMD5CalculatorDlg::MD5WorkerThreadFunctionMain() method.)

MD5 digest can be copied to the clipboard.

Some techniques showed in this project:

 * MD5 calculation using Win32 Cryptography API (no external libraries required)
 * using worker threads
 * drag-and-drop
 * copy strings to clipboard
 * extracting file path and file title from full file pathname
 * using common open file dialog 


NOTE:
The CMD5FileCalculator class is used to calculate MD5 of files.
This class is independent from the MFC framework, and can be used also in
non-MFC projects.
