Whatever you're writing that's going to read SLACKBUILDS.TXT, you
could pick apart the md5sums that are jammed together... all the
information is there, there just isn't a space between them. An md5sum
is always 32 hex digits, so your parsing code could rely on that
instead of requiring spaces.

Not a 'clean' solution, I know.

As to the script that generates SLACKBUILDS.TXT, I've never even
looked at it. It's from before my time... but now that someone's found
an actual bug in it, I'll see what I can do.
