-// Hash function

-// We originally used hashpjw, but hash P(31) gives just as good results
-// and is slighly faster. We would like a hash function that looks at every
-// character, since package names have large common prefixes, and also because
-// hash_or_fail does error checking while iterating.

-// hash P(31) from Kernighan & Ritchie
