This patch makes the processing of large really large files more efficient
by making sure that the sender's hash table is large enough to hold all the
checksum entries without being overloaded.  Unfortunately, the code adds a
modulus calculation for (up to) every byte of the source file, which slows
down the code for normal file sizes (e.g. 4 CPU seconds slower on a Pentium
III when copying a 65 MB file without very much matching data).

This was updated for the latest codebase from a patch written by Shachar
Shemesh.

To use this patch, run these commands for a successful build:

    patch -p1 <patches/dynamic_hash.diff
    ./configure                                 (optional if already run)
    make
