   5  * These are some simple generic hash table helper functions.
   6  * Not necessarily suitable for all users, but good for things
   7  * where you want to just keep track of a list of things, and
   8  * have a good hash to use on them.
   9  *
  10  * It keeps the hash table at roughly 50-75% free, so the memory
  11  * cost of the hash table itself is roughly
  12  *
  13  *      3 * 2*sizeof(void *) * nr_of_objects
  14  *
  15  * bytes.
  16  *
  17  * FIXME: on 64-bit architectures, we waste memory. It would be
  18  * good to have just 32-bit pointers, requiring a special allocator
  19  * for hashed entries or something.
