current npm version 1.1.2 of package create-hash does not support md5 stream calcualtion

Hi,

For package create-hash, current npm version 1.1.2 doesn't support md5 calculation based on stream.

We need buffer all the data in memory and then calculate the md5.
It's not possible for calculating md5 of huge files.

@fanatid had created the md5.js module based on stream.
There is also a branch named feature/update-hashes.

It's possible to update the npm version based on this branch?

I'm also willing to help during the update.

Best,
Xiaoning
