Just for the record, codec-regression.sh contains nothing suitable
for NetBSD because md5sum does not exist and -r is unsupported by md5. OTOH:

% gmd5sum -b .zshrc
0a4998dca23450d99f6fccee3a28d000 *.zshrc

% md5 .zshrc
MD5 (.zshrc) = 0a4998dca23450d99f6fccee3a28d000
 
% md5 -n .zshrc
0a4998dca23450d99f6fccee3a28d000 .zshrc

% openssl dgst -md5 .zshrc
MD5(.zshrc)= 0a4998dca23450d99f6fccee3a28d000
