Here is a version of the automatic hash generator written in Perl:

http://www.zytor.com/~hpa/phash/

There is another one based on code written by Bob Jenkins, in C, and
based on a different algorithm included with libucd:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libucd/libucd.git

It is *much* slower to converge, but probably generates at least
marginally faster lookup code.
