And they shouldn't be fetched to the same DL_DIR in the first place, so
checksums.ini can define both with pn-filename, and then bitbake would
show an error when the other file would be stored in DL_DIR.

Thanks for comments.

I would like to improve the patch and add parts for scripts too, if you think it
could be used. From discussion on irc it seemed like global checksums.ini
is not a good idea at all, at least because of high probability of merge
conflicts, and that checksums should be moved to .bb files or defined on
per-package files.
