Two things:

1) Have you looked at?:

   http://www.burtleburtle.net/bob/hash/hashfaq.html

   at all?  I'm not exactly sure what your hash function is doing, but I
   don't think it's as good as it could be.

2) Did you ever look at my fuzzysum thingy?:

   http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert/software/fuzzysum

   It works very differently, but I use one of the "good" hash functions
   derived from Bob Jenkins' web page.  You can see how I use it.  Also,
   I have a link to nilsimsa which is another fuzzy hashing algorithm which
   is closer to DCC's hashing method (and is in some ways like yours, using
   trigrams).
