+ * with support for progressive processing.

+
+/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 
+If you want to understand the MurmurHash algorithm you would be much better
+off reading the original source. Just point your browser at:
+http://code.google.com/p/smhasher/source/browse/trunk/MurmurHash3.cpp
+
+
+What this version provides?
+
+1. Progressive data feeding. Useful when the entire payload to be hashed
+does not fit in memory or when the data is streamed through the application.
+Also useful when hashing a number of strings with a common prefix. A partial
+hash of a prefix string can be generated and reused for each suffix string.
+
+2. Portability. Plain old C so that it should compile on any old compiler.
+Both CPU endian and access-alignment neutral, but avoiding inefficient code
+when possible depending on CPU capabilities.
+
+3. Drop in. I personally like nice self contained public domain code, making it
+easy to pilfer without loads of refactoring to work properly in the existing
+application code & makefile structure and mucking around with licence files.
+Just copy PMurHash.h and PMurHash.c and you're ready to go.
+
+
+How does it work?
+
+We can only process entire 32 bit chunks of input, except for the very end
+that may be shorter. So along with the partial hash we need to give back to
+the caller a carry containing up to 3 bytes that we were unable to process.
+This carry also needs to record the number of bytes the carry holds. I use
+the low 2 bits as a count (0..3) and the carry bytes are shifted into the
+high byte in stream order.
+
+To handle endianess I simply use a macro that reads a uint32_t and define
+that macro to be a direct read on little endian machines, a read and swap
+on big endian machines, or a byte-by-byte read if the endianess is unknown.
