"create a special Freenet server that acts a normal, serving out data from its cache, unless it sees a request for an AIM.exe checksum."
This would be difficult to do. I'm assuming the AIM protocol allows the server to request *any* byte range. You are talking about more possible requests than the keyspace of Freenet (2^160).
Far better that someone insert AIM.exe into Freenet and clients download it. Clients could even download it from the local node each time they need a checksum:
"I don't have AIM.exe. It's in my Freenet cache? I can't help that, it's a cache and it's encrypted so I don't know what's in it"
Looks like the source code has been posted at:

"The OpenAFS source code is currently available on the following platforms: AIX 4.2, Digital/Compaq UNIX 4.0, Red Hat Linux 6.2, Solaris 2.6 and 2.7, and Windows NT 4.0. "
So what's the problem?
A freenet implimentation *does* exist in C++. It's
called Whiterose and it's been my sole project for months. However it isn't ready yet (I'm the only one working on it).
