Are you telling me that there is some sort of standardish c library hashing 
api call ?

I know that FreeBSD appears to come with default with libmd which contains 
md5 and sha1, and that you can get innumerable standalone library packages 
from freshmeat that implement both, both for some annoying reason linux 
distributions don't apppear to carry any of them by default, every little 
half arsed app carries around an md5 or sha1 implementation of its own.
