+ Generate a table for a byte-wise 32-bit CRC calculation on the polynomial:
+ x^32+x^26+x^23+x^22+x^16+x^12+x^11+x^10+x^8+x^7+x^5+x^4+x^2+x+1.
+
+ Polynomials over GF(2) are represented in binary, one bit per coefficient,
+ with the lowest powers in the most significant bit. Then adding polynomials
+ is just exclusive-or, and multiplying a polynomial by x is a right shift by
+ one. If we call the above polynomial p, and represent a byte as the
+ polynomial q, also with the lowest power in the most significant bit (so the
+ byte 0xb1 is the polynomial x^7+x^3+x+1), then the CRC is (q*x^32) mod p,
+ where a mod b means the remainder after dividing a by b.
+
+ This calculation is done using the shift-register method of multiplying and
+ taking the remainder. The register is initialized to zero, and for each
+ incoming bit, x^32 is added mod p to the register if the bit is a one (where
+ x^32 mod p is p+x^32 = x^26+...+1), and the register is multiplied mod p by
+ x (which is shifting right by one and adding x^32 mod p if the bit shifted
+ out is a one). We start with the highest power (least significant bit) of
+ q and repeat for all eight bits of q.
+
+ The table is simply the CRC of all possible eight bit values. This is all
+ the information needed to generate CRC's on data a byte at a time for all
+ combinations of CRC register values and incoming bytes. The table is
+ written to stdout as 256 long hexadecimal values in C language format.
