Subject: test/common.sh.in: use awk to pick off first output field.
X-Git-Url: https://diplodocus.org/git/nmh/commitdiff_plain/64fd71ad6a0c0cfb19fb5e49f293b1ab42923f7b?ds=inline

test/common.sh.in: use awk to pick off first output field.

md5 and md5sum are inconsistent in their use of SP vs HT as a field separator.
cut(1) can only handle a single field delimiter character; awk is more forgiving.
