Hi Ramona,

sure, any extensions or fixes are of course appreciated.

Well, this function was introduced to hash a config file. I've seen the 
CFG_FILE macros, but was not aware of the cfg_file variable. I'll change the 
code to use this variable, this is more userfriendly than to specify this 
manually. I'll test the special case you've mentioned too.

Thank you for the hint,

Henning
