Daryle Walker's CRC Library has been accepted by Boost, subject to the 
following:

*  The code needs to compile on a wider range of compilers.

*  The Endian and void * issues identified by Darin Adler and Jens Maurer 
need to be resolved.  Jens suggestion to "remove the augmented CRC 
functions until a general boost solution for endian-independent data access 
becomes available" should be given great weight.

*  An independent test of correctness for at least crc-32 should be 
available.

*  General problems identified by Jens Maurer, such as lack of 
acknowledgements, should be dealt with.
