I'm somewhat concerned about the effect of a 32 entry chained hash
table on functions with very large basic blocks.  So I guess I'd 
really prefer you used hashtab.c.

If you're concerned about calculating the hash value twice, you can
add alternate entry points to htab_find/find_slot that accept a
pre-computed hash value instead of calling hash_f itself.
