out of tree build fails: mkdir foo ; cd foo ; ../configure ; make

warning when building on 64bit systems because util.c uses unsigned int but 
hash.c expects size_t:
src/util.c: In function ‘init_backup_hash_table’:
src/util.c:84: warning: passing argument 3 of ‘hash_initialize’ from 
incompatible pointer type
