Thanks to Petr for the reviews - I made these changes:

Patch 1: Use 0x80 to represent flag_present's 0 in the table.

Patch 2: Added a comment for the manually unrolled step 0 of uleb128,
and made both get_?leb128 macros into simple expressions.  Fixed the
one caller who was getting a set-but-unused warning from this.

Patch 3: Redid this as a smaller optimization directly on the hash
lookup function.  The performance gain is not as great, but it's a
simpler change and doesn't increase memory use.

And my spacing should be improved everywhere. :)

Thanks,
Josh
