DSS_DEFAULT_HASH_ALGORITHMS

I’ve a feature in some of my tools, that let you choose the hash algorithm.

Many of my tools calculate hashes, and for historical reasons, that is the MD5 hash.

But if you want another hash, you can change this (for some of my tools) by setting environment variable DSS_DEFAULT_HASH_ALGORITHMS.

Like for pdf-parser.py, on Windows, you can set DSS_DEFAULT_HASH_ALGORITHMS=sha256 and then the hashes of the streams will be SHA256 in stead of MD5.
