Hum... So you mean you want to have one function per CRC table
(similar to the patch I posted some times ago) ?
And also the hardcoded tables, if enabled in ./configure.
The functions returning tables pointer would always be
enabled, since they would be part of the API. And they
would obviously return either a generated or a harcoded
table depending on what was configured.

If that's what you want, I guess I will implement it.
