XjsEx.dll - File checksum support

[pointnet]

Could you guys support file checksum so we can manage complex versioning system ?

As with #79, I cannot make promises for this feature request. We've released the DLL creation tutorial to encourage people to write their solutions for their specific use cases.

Nevertheless, I'd like to file this to our core team's internal issue tracker for consideration, but could you give more information as to your expected use case? (What kind of checksum would you need? etc.)

[pointnet]

Use case is about "presentation sharing" between casters, we need to be sure that they're using the same assets (images, videos, fonts, sources...). Idea is to use a file checksum to compare files between casters local repository and a server based assets repository.

Thanks for the info. I've now filed the request to our internal issue tracker.

If we decide to provide this functionality, I'll reopen this issue to provide more details.

Reopening this as it appears that we will be supplying relevant calls for this.

Moving this to next milestone as calls are not yet ready, but we can include #79 in 1.4.
