Store checksums as xattr #62

It would be nice to store the checksums as extended attributes with each file to speed up subsequent runs.

Thanks for the suggestion, I am working on something close to this but storing them in a database file. If you have any further interest you can check out the planned features page, for this one look for the item called 'Store results of our search"
