The fact that C hasn't got a rotate-left operator did not deter the
submitters from using it. 8-)

Things that are difficult to do efficiently on the JVM, like unsigned
32 x 32 -> 64 multiplication, are not very interesting for
general-purpose implementations, either.  I'm not sure if hashing for
the JVM would look *that* much different.
