That is the wrong tactic.  When I change the checksumming machinery,
that code will stop working.  Based on similar efforts by other people
and judging from the question, the DCC client-server will probably be
broken and cause problems for the public DCC servers.  For example,
that is why the barracudanetworks.com test systems have long been in
the defensive blacklist used by the public DCC servers.

Instead use the Perl interface to dccifd in dccifd/dccif-test/dccif-test.pl
in the DCC source or the dccif() interface function in the dcclib.a
library as demonstrated by dccifd/dccif-test/dccif-test.c.  See

http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/dcc-tree/dccifd/dccif-test/dccif-test.pl
http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/dcc-tree/dcclib/dccif.c

Connecting MTAs to DCC servers is the reason dccifd exists, which makes
talk about removing code from dccifd to postfix-cleanup surprising.
Again, look at dccifd/dccif-test/dccif-test.pl and
dccifd/dccif-test/dccif-test.c

Even better would probably be to use one of the existing implementations
of dccifd and dccproc in postfix.  See
