[pLog-svn] File integrity check?

[Mark Wu]

I think it is a do-able way.

Here comes the prove of concept.

directoryToMD5Array() is a function that map a folder to an array
recursively
checkDirectoryMD5Array() is check the folder match the md5 array or not

So, the example here, it will:

1. Go through current directory and map all file & md5 hash value to $fils
array
2. serialize the  arry to md5.txt
3. delete index.txt
4. load md5.txt and unserialize to md5_array
5. check the current folder again
6. print the remaining files
7. print the counter

I did not test  it in lifetype, but I think it should work.
