[NUT-devel] Incomplete description of checksum algorithm

[Alexander Strasser]

Hi,

  the checksum definition in the current spec seems
incomplete or unprecise to me. 
  I have prepared the following patch to complement
Oded's last change. It is based on the last discussion
of the subject on mplayer-dev-eng.

  It is just a suggestion.
