'''Implements a straight Jenkins lookup hash - http://burtleburtle.net/bob/hash/doobs.html

Usage: 
    from jhash import jhash
    print jhash('My hovercraft is full of eels')

Returns: unsigned 32 bit integer value

Prereqs: None

Tested with Python 2.6.
Version 1.00 - der@dod.no - 23.08.2010

Partly based on the Perl module Digest::JHash
