 *
 * DESCRIPTION:
 *
 * Mix 3 32-bit values reversibly.  For every delta with one or two bits
 * set, and the deltas of all three high bits or all three low bits,
 * whether the original value of a,b,c is almost all zero or is
 * uniformly distributed.
 *
 * If HASH_MIX() is run forward or backward, at least 32 bits in a,b,c
 * have at least 1/4 probability of changing.  If mix() is run
 * forward, every bit of c will change between 1/3 and 2/3 of the
 * time.  (Well, 22/100 and 78/100 for some 2-bit deltas.)
 *
 * HASH_MIX() takes 36 machine instructions, but only 18 cycles on a
 * superscalar machine (like a Pentium or a Sparc).  No faster mixer
 * seems to work, that's the result of my brute-force search.  There
 * were about 2^68 hashes to choose from.  I only tested about a
 * billion of those.

 * DESCRIPTION:
 *
 * Hash a variable-length key into a 32-bit value.  Every bit of the
 * key affects every bit of the return value.  Every 1-bit and 2-bit
 * delta achieves avalanche.  About (6 * len + 35) instructions.  The

 * (sooo slow!).  If you need less than 32 bits, use a bitmask.  For
 * example, if you need only 10 bits, do h = (h & hashmask(10)); In
 * which case, the hash table should have hashsize(10) elements.

 * int table_insert_kd
 *
 * DESCRIPTION:
 *
 * Like table_insert except it passes back a pointer to the key and
 * the data buffers after they have been inserted into the table
 * structure.
 *
 * This routine adds a key/data pair both of which are made up of a
 * buffer of bytes and an associated size.  Both the key and the data
 * will be copied into buffers allocated inside the table.  If the key
 * exists already, the associated data will be replaced if the
 * overwrite flag is set, otherwise an error is returned.
 *
 * NOTE: be very careful changing the values since the table library
 * provides the pointers to its memory.  The key can _never_ be
 * changed otherwise you will not find it again.  The data can be
 * changed but its length can never be altered unless you delete and
 * re-insert it into the table.
 *
 * WARNING: The pointers to the key and data are not in any specific
 * alignment.  Accessing the key and/or data as an short, integer, or
 * long pointer directly can cause problems.
 *
 * WARNING: Replacing a data cell (not inserting) will cause the table
 * linked list to be temporarily invalid.  Care must be taken with
 * multiple threaded programs which are relying on the first/next
 * linked list to be always valid.
 *
 * RETURNS:
 *
 * Success - TABLE_ERROR_NONE
 *
 * Failure - Table error code.
 *
 * ARGUMENTS:
 *
 * table_p - Table structure pointer into which we will be inserting a
 * new key/data pair.
 *
 * key_buf - Buffer of bytes of the key that we are inserting.  If you
 * are storing an (int) as the key (for example) then key_buf should
 * be a (int *).
 *
 * key_size - Size of the key_buf buffer.  If set to < 0 then the
 * library will do a strlen of key_buf and add 1 for the '\0'.  If you
 * are storing an (int) as the key (for example) then key_size should
 * be sizeof(int).
 *
 * data_buf - Buffer of bytes of the data that we are inserting.  If
 * it is NULL then the library will allocate space for the data in the
 * table without copying in any information.  If data_buf is NULL and
 * data_size is 0 then the library will associate a NULL data pointer
 * with the key.  If you are storing a (long) as the data (for
 * example) then data_buf should be a (long *).
 *
 * data_size - Size of the data_buf buffer.  If set to < 0 then the
 * library will do a strlen of data_buf and add 1 for the '\0'.  If
 * you are storing an (long) as the key (for example) then key_size
 * should be sizeof(long).
 *
 * key_buf_p - Pointer which, if not NULL, will be set to the address
 * of the key storage that was allocated in the table.  If you are
 * storing an (int) as the key (for example) then key_buf_p should be
 * (int **) i.e. the address of a (int *).
 *
 * data_buf_p - Pointer which, if not NULL, will be set to the address
 * of the data storage that was allocated in the table.  If you are
 * storing an (long) as the data (for example) then data_buf_p should
 * be (long **) i.e. the address of a (long *).

 * overwrite - Flag which, if set to 1, will allow the overwriting of
 * the data in the table with the new data if the key already exists
 * in the table.

/******************************** table order ********************************/

/*
 * table_entry_t *table_order
 *
 * DESCRIPTION:
 *
 * Order a table by building an array of table entry pointers and then
 * sorting this array using the qsort function.  To retrieve the
 * sorted entries, you can then use the table_entry routine to access
 * each entry in order.
 *
 * NOTE: This routine is now thread safe in that two table_order calls
 * can now happen at the same time, even on the same table.
 *
 * RETURNS:
 *
 * An allocated list of entry pointers which must be freed later.
 * Returns null on error.
 *
 * ARGUMENTS:
 *
 * table_p - Pointer to the table that we are ordering.
 *
 * compare - Comparison function defined by the user.  Its definition
 * is at the top of the table.h file.  If this is NULL then it will
 * order the table my memcmp-ing the keys.
 *
 * num_entries_p - Pointer to an integer which, if not NULL, will
 * contain the number of entries in the returned entry pointer array.
 *
 * error_p - Pointer to an integer which, if not NULL, will contain a
 * table error code.
