It uses a cryptographically strong hash of the message, with some
canonicalization performed. It's what I thought of at the time.
I haven't looked into using fuzzy hashes, but I looked at nilsimsa's page
and it seems like a better approach. I'll have to look into implementing
it. Thanks for the heads-up.
