1) Because md5 checksums are considered insecure and thus a possible
security loophole

2) $SOURCE_DIRECTORY defaults to $BUILD_DIRECTORY/$MODULE-$VERSION

3) If it contains just configure; make; make install .. yes, that is
covered by the function 'default_build' which is run with every module.
You will notice that most modules only have a DETAILS and probably a
DEPENDS file. Everything else is handled by the coretools. You can take
a look at build.lunar in /var/lib/lunar/functions to find out more
about it.

4) Yes, generally, we only set the MAINTAINER field for developers.
