Description

The mhttp's http etag uses the mtime and file length and this can cause

subtle issues if a target has no RTC or it is incorrect and files are
being copied without preserving the mtime or changes happen that do not
change the length.

The cp and untar code do not update a file's time.

Add support for an etag callback so a user can manage the tag, ie MD5 or
something similar.
