% hash = PsychComputeSHA(msg [, shaId='256']) -- Return the SHA hash of a string.
%
% This uses either GNU/Octave's builtin hash() function, or if that doesn't exist,
% e.g., on Matlab or old Octave versions, falls back to Java's MessageDigest
% hashing classes to do the same in a slightly less efficient way.
%
% 'msg' should be a string of which the hash should be computed and returned.
%
% 'shaId' optional string with numbers, selecting one of the supported SHA
% functions. This defaults to SHA-256, ie. shaId == '256', if omitted.
%
% Currently the following shaId's are supported by both Octave and Matlab:
% '1', '224', '256', '384', '512'
%
% Returns 'hash' as the string with the returned SHA hash.

% Java variant also works with Octave if a JVM is installed, but the Java
