Very nice! Good idea @jordansissel!
where does the hash come from? How are users expected to get it? If the answer is "copy and paste this from a page secured by https" then this doesn't add anything as anyone able to attack the https:// URL in the curl download can attack the page that they used to get the hash.
@dstufft Where does the source of any trust system come from? There's a huge difference between "this isn't fully solved" and "this solution is vastly superior to the prior solution". Security is layers! Be chill. Have a hug! :)

Works on Ubuntu 14.04 and OSX 10.9 despite output differences. Maybe this is good enough?
Also works on Ubuntu 12.04 and CentOS 6.2
