The program mph tries to generate an order preserving minimal perfect
hashing (MPH) function for the set of keys, one per line, on stdin.
Each key can be at most 4095 characters long (see keys.h to increase
this limit), and the keys must be unique. If mph terminates, it emits
a language independent binary or text representation of the MPH
function on stdout. To generate a usable hash function, this output
should be fed to a language dependent filter, like emitc.
