+ *
+ * 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. :)
