That is true, but it's not the only option. We might start with a
document with guidelines for interoperable consistent hashing in
beanstalkd.

If someone wants to work on a C library, they'll have my full support.
(I won't have the time to start or maintain it myself.) Whoever does
this will have to deal with a tricky problem:

Such a library would be hard to integrate with other event loops. It
could use libevent or libev directly, but then the gtk mainloop would
be unhappy. Not to mention twisted, EventMachine, etc.
