 From little acorns: redo our string and digest hashing code to be faster, since this stuff may be critical-path.

     - Fix logic to look up a cert by its signing key digest.  Bugfix on
       0.2.0.7-alpha.
 
+  o Minor bugfixes (performance):
+    - Use a slightly simpler string hashing algorithm (copying Python's
+      instead of Java's) and optimize our digest hashing algorithm to take
+      advantage of 64-bit platforms and to remove some possibly-costly
+      voodoo.
