Looking over the implementation for jhash2 and comparing it to jhash_3words
I realized that the two hashes were in fact very different. Doing a bit of
digging led me to "The new jhash implementation" in which lookup2 was
supposed to have been replaced with lookup3.
In reviewing the patch I noticed that jhash2 had originally initialized a
and b to JHASH_GOLDENRATIO and c to initval, but after the patch a, b, and
c were initialized to initval + (length << 2) + JHASH_INITVAL. However the
changes in jhash_3words simply replaced the initialization of a and b with
JHASH_INITVAL.
This change corrects what I believe was an oversight so that a, b, and c in
jhash_3words all have the same value added consisting of initval + (length
<< 2) + JHASH_INITVAL so that jhash2 and jhash_3words will now produce the
same hash result given the same inputs.

The current jhash.h implements the lookup2() hash function by Bob Jenkins.
However, lookup2() is outdated as Bob wrote a new hash function called
lookup3(). The patch replaces the lookup2() implementation of the 'jhash*'
functions with that of lookup3().
You can read a longer comparison of the two and other hash functions at

Use const to avoid forcing users to cast const data.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
