Berkeley Hash package fits this bill nicely. It also comes with byte-order
independence, and the usual permissive berkeley copyright. It also happens
to be the fastest such package available.

A version of this code should be ftp-able from ucbarpa. You may wish to
query margo at postgres.berkeley.edu about it. This package will be a regular
part of future berkeley distributions.

For gory implementation details of this package, see the paper in 1991
Winter Usenix Conference proceedings: "A New Hash Package for UNIX" by
Margo Seltzer and Ozan Yigit.
