Module file parse API

[Sean Mullan]

Hi Chris,

I've just been reviewing the changes to Signer.java. With the new code, 
it looks like the caller is now responsible for verifying the hashes 
whereas in the old code, the Reader would automatically take care of it 
for you. Can you explain why you changed that?

Thanks,
Sean
