Description
    Misc. hashing functions, mostly from Bob Jenkins.

    The Jenkins hashing function(s) is similar in speed to Paul Hsieh's
    SuperFast hash, but is public domain, supports incremental hashing
    and has been reported to have better characteristics.
    It is also what postgresql seems to be using.
