I think the simplest way would be to define a new "format" that would
use OpenSSL's SHA-1 routines like some others do.

I think this approach would be significantly more complicated than
defining a special-purpose "format" like I proposed above.  I wouldn't
mind "a raw sketch of the steps involved" appearing in here, on the
wiki, or in a documentation file, though.  Jim?
