Ship it!


seems fine, but I would like some comments

    I think a couple of comments are very much needed here for why you're doing 
this and what you're actually doing. Took me a little bit to figure out that 
you're creating a 32bit bit set for each 32 bits and oring them together. 
    
    FYI, this is fixed in C++0x
