@raycmorgan: Thanks for posting this! Might I ask if/how you license this code?

I too would like to know what license you would prefer to release this code under.
(Buy me a beer MIT License is a nice one, IHMO)

Here is an MIT-licensed Javascript implementation of MurmurHash 2 and 3: https://github.com/garycourt/murmurhash-js

See also the Wikipedia page on MurmurHash, which currently links to these two implementations.
