 * (I can't really claim much credit however, as the algorithm is
 * very well-known)
 *
 * The following function creates a CRC32 table depending on whether
 * a big-endian (0x04c11db7) or little-endian (0xedb88320) CRC32 is 
 * required. Admittedly, there are other CRC32 polynomials floating
 * around, but Busybox doesn't use them.

 * endian = 1: big-endian
 * endian = 0: little-endian
