This makes the output length rather odd (not even divisible by 4 bytes), although that wouldn't matter much in non-performance critical applications. Also to keep in mind; when using hashes as a key for something (file name, hash table), here you'll need to take bits from the end, not the beginning, when splitting it up (eg. for using multiple directory levels).
