minor md5sum output difference

- Subject: minor md5sum output difference
Cygwin md5sum puts a space then an asterisk in front of filenames, Linux
version puts two spaces.
E.g.:
Linux$ echo | md5sum
68b329da9893e34099c7d8ad5cb9c940 -
Cywgin$ echo | md5sum
68b329da9893e34099c7d8ad5cb9c940 *-
I see "md5sum -c" accepts either two spaces or space plus asterisk.
Why the difference in output formats? Does it matter?
