    Attachment: murmur.patch

This patch adds MurmurHash as an option (used by default) alongside with JenkinsHash, and provides for backwards-compatibility with data created before this patch.

> I recently ported the MurmurHash (http://murmurhash.googlepages.com/) to Java, and according to my tests it's roughly 5 times faster than the current version of JenkinsHash in the trunk/ . According to the author (and other analysts at comp.sci.crypt) this hash has an excellent avalanche behavior, and low collision rate. I propose to either replace the JenkinsHash or add this hash as an option to be used in BloomFilter-s and related classes.
> If your opinion is positive, I'll prepare a patch. The Java implementation of the hash can be found here: http://www.getopt.org/murmur/MurmurHash.java
