The review request of shedskin is at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=554187

Shedskin had a licensing problem with the implemented hash function. Now upstream used [http://sites.google.com/site/murmurhash/ murmur] which is only a copy of 60 lines of code (~20 lines of comments).

• Furthermore shedskin searched for 'a' fast hash function and that's it. So it's likely that it will change, if there is another (maybe better) hash function out there.

• Shedskin isn't forking it's just copying one single function, so it's easier to work on all platforms.

• The changes made to that function, were only to implement it into shedskin and is not usefull to anyone else.

• Don't know if upstream will reqularily update the function to a newer version, maybe to another function, which has nothing to do with murmur at all...

• There is no plan of unbundling, if there is another better hash out there, upstream will move on, untill then, this function will stay as it is.

Can I get an exception to 'bundle' this function?
I don't even know, if this is a real 'bundling' because this function is deeply implemented into shedskin and not used with '#include <foo>' and adding the header to shedskin (which is what I expect as a definition of 'bundling').

Maybe that's another topic the FPC should discuss (Definition of a bundled library, e.g. added as header files with more than 50 lines)?
