 So, here's a first pass.

 I decided not to use an API, instead opting to include a (currently
 imaginary) file that includes the hashes for the file, based on the format
 of the [http://wordpress.org/plugins/exploit-scanner/ Exploit Scanner]
 plugin. The file would be created as part of the build process.

 Format:

 {{{
 array(
         'dir1/file1.foo' => 'hash1',
         'dir2/file2.bar' => 'hash2,
         ...
 );
 }}}

 TODO:
 * Add support for FTP servers that provide MD5 functionality
 * Don't copy files that haven't changed
 * Check files after they're copied, to make sure it all worked
