/*
 * Rabin Fingerprint - Implementation as suggested by Broder
 * (http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.53.6172)
 *
 * - This is based on http://sourceforge.net/projects/webcat/ and
 *   http://sourceforge.net/projects/rabinhash/. However, I thinks there's a bug in the current
 *   webcat version (16-03-2009).
 * - Make sure your compiler is standard complaint regarding array initialization. When it's in the
 *   initialization list of the constructor, default-initialization should be provided. This means
 *   zero-initialization for boost::int64_t.
