Wow! Nice feature!
Note that the hash module claims LGPLv2+, but the header of hash.[ch] is about
GPLv3+.

Thanks for the hint; below is my updated proposal (which passes its test :). I
see that xconcat-filename is about xconcat_filename; I stayed with
hash_initialize instead of xhash_initialize, but I can change that, of course.
Also, contrary to the case of xconcat-filename, I have not put hash.h in the
Files of xhash, because I see hash.h as a part of hash, not xhash. And I
shamelessly decided to put the maintenance burden on Jim's shoulders.
