A me too: I haven't looked lately to mdev but worked with cmph.

Creating perfect hash functions, even minimal perfect hash functions in 
RAM is possible nowadays.
See cmph, esp. BDZ http://cmph.sourceforge.net/bdz.html

So you do not ask for a good HASH algorithm anymore, you create the best 
hash function on the fly and use it at runtime.
IMHO such a feature should be added to mhash.
