I just implemented that (SHA1, SHA256 and SHA512 supported at the
moment), and a few other minor improvements on the feature/3.4/tfhash
branch of my github repo[1].

I will add the $(sha1) and similar wrappers in a few hours, once I'm
near a computer again, unless someone beats me to it: all it takes is
factoring out the bulk of tf_hash, into something that does not require
a GString argv[], but takes separate arguments, then turn tf_hash,
tf_sha1, etc into thin wrappers calling that. About 10 minutes of work
tops, and there are cookies to be had! :)
