But of course there's no magic that will remove the old cached tarball
out of one's downloads directory when this sort of thing happens.
(Busybox has been known to do this, too)
What do folks think we should do about that when it occurs?
a) support two entries (old and new) in checksums.ini
b) do nothing (leave as is)
c) add some sort of support so that the user gets additional information
with the new checksum match failure explaining that the checksum was
updated and they need to manually remove the old (bad) tarball
