Subject: Preliminary report on flow label hash algorithms

In summary: the algorithm suggested in the Appendix to
draft-ietf-6man-flow-3697bis-04 doesn't perform very well
on real packets, and I have an improved version to suggest.

This doesn't affect the normative text in the draft, so I
believe it can be fixed.
