Be a little careful, please.  There are very many
different, incompatible "32-bit CRCs."  There are
just a few popular ones, so you can often combine
functions, but not always.

Any CRC implementation should clearly document
the generating polynomial and the preconditioning
and postconditioning assumptions.
