Would base 36 input actually be useful to you? I could add a base 36 interface easily enough.
I made the interface base-16 because most SHA-1 APIs output base-16 and I was told that doing conversion is hard. ;)
Well, i was too lazy to sha an image, so i grabbed the hash from commons :-) As mediawiki uses base-36, then it's probably a good idea. It's not so hard to do the conversion... wfBaseConvert at Globalfunctions.php :D
