Hi David,

My original implementation is based on the algorythm described here [1]
which is quite efficient, I see no special benefit in using hash tables.
I had planned to finish porting the code to the new filters API this
summer (I know I took the task long ago, I'm ashamed of delaying it so
much) so you can take other urgent tasks if you prefer.

Thanks!

JP
