works like this

        struct foo {
                char *key;
                void *next;
                ...
        };

        hash_table *t = hash_create(strcmp, 229, hash4);
        struct foo *F = xcalloc(1, sizeof(*F));
        F->key = xstrdup("key");
        hash_join(t, (hash_link *) F);

        ...

        struct foo *F;
        G = (struct foo *) hash_lookup(t, "key");
