MIFHASH is one of a number of programs developed in chapter 13, that
all use the same generic calling program and command.
The outfile is not used, instead the result is sent as a message.
The program is only a framework. For it to be useful, you should
adapt it to do exactly what you want. I'll help you with this,
if you don't have the time, but you got to specify how you want
to use it.
