 *
 * A hashmap implementation.  The keys are case-insensitive NULL terminated
 * strings, and the data is arbitrary lumps of data.  Copies of both the
 * key and the data in the hashmap itself, so you must free the original
 * key and data to avoid a memory leak.  The hashmap returns a pointer
 * to the data when a key is searched for, so take care in modifying the
 * data as it's modifying the data stored in the hashmap.  (In other words,
 * don't try to free the data, or realloc the memory. :)
