Checkcopy - copy files, on-the-fly checksum creation and verification

Hey,
I briefly wanted to announce a small utility here: checkcopy, a file
copy and verification utility.

This program will copy one or more files / directories to a
destination, and compute its checksum on the fly. If checksum files
are getting copied over, their contents are parsed and compared to the
computed checksums. If no checksum was found for a file, then the
computed one is written to disk.
So in the end at the destination every file has a checksum stored on
disk, and all files which already had a checksum are verified.
Checkcopy uses GIO, so it operates on local and remote files / destinations.

As always, comments are welcome.

P.S. Maybe someone remembers md5copy; checkcopy is its rewrite for
GIO, which now also verifies checksums.
