To be honest, I don't see how this is simpler in any way than keeping
_dl_find_hash the way it is now, and only changing the function calls
which need the new functionality to call _dl_lookup_hash.  Seems like
there would be less merge effort?

I have commit access.  If we can get consensus I can apply them.
