Description:
------------
the MD5 checksum in package.xml for a file only works with the PEAR installer when provided in lowercase. If capital letters (A-F) are used, a "bad checksum" warning is returned.

Reason: md5_file() seems to return MD5 checksums in lowercase, however some MD5 calculation tools (e.g. the command line tool at http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/) return checksums in upper case.
The "error" (if you can call it that way) is in line 276 of PEAR\Installer.php:

if ($md5sum == $atts['md5sum']) {

The following would eliminate the problem:

if ($md5sum == strtolower($atts['md5sum'])) {
