2TODO: try unaligned copy again in decompressor
3TODO: allow size-optimised binaries by avoiding unrolling
4TODO: implement lzf_c_best in lzf.
5TODO: fix lzf_c_best.

7 - switch to a multiplicative hash (developed with Steinar Gunderson),
8 which is faster on modern cpus and compresses a bit better. The old
9 hash function which uses only shifts is still available.
10 - allow user configurable hash table slots, which makes it possible
11 to use e.g. 16 bit offsets for a smaller hashtable (if your data is
12 always < 64kb).
13 - use _WIN32, not WIN32, when testing for windows (fails with bcc),
14 patch by Tamas Tevesz.
15 - try to port to win64+gcc, which is non-posix but doesn't have _int64
16 (reported by Maciej Adamczyk).

2 - fixed hash calculation in C♯ version (Tiago Freitas Leal). 19 - fixed hash calculation in C♯ version (Tiago Freitas Leal).
3 - unroll copy for small sizes, use memcpy for larger sizes, 20 - unroll copy for small sizes, use memcpy for larger sizes,
4 greatly speeding up decompression in most cases. 21 greatly speeding up decompression in most cases.
5 - finally disable rep movsb - it's a big loss on modern intel cpus, 22 - finally disable rep movsb - it's a big loss on modern intel cpus,
6 and only a small win on amd cpus. 23 and only a small win on amd cpus.
7 - improve c++ compatibility of the code. 24 - improve C++ compatibility of the code.
8 - slightly improve compressor speed. 25 - slightly improve compressor speed.
9 - halved memory requirements for compressor on 64 bit architectures, 26 - halved memory requirements for compressor on 64 bit architectures,
10 which can improve the speed quite a bit on older cpus. 27 which can improve the speed quite a bit on older cpus.
