Simple checksum generator for mobipocket using https://github.com/bfabiszewski/libmobi

Amazon's kindlegen tool does not generate exactly the same output file from one input file:
$ kindlegen test.epub -o test.mobi && md5sum test.mobi
8077dc1aadcc1246d26127a688d2a66c
$ kindlegen test.epub -o test.mobi && md5sum test.mobi
8714bbb3dbd550621b9a870306611ac3

This tool circumvents this problem by extracting actual data and generating MD5 from them :
$ kindlegen test.epub -o test.mobi && mobichecksum test.mobi
f8644ed54e6e438a2ff9c1b38cbcb2c9
$ kindlegen test.epub -o test.mobi && mobichecksum test.mobi
