Go right ahead if you like. However, I wouldn't really recommend it 
because the only function of it is to test the quality of different hash 
algorithms, which probably isn't useful as anything except as an end in 
itself, and in that case a user might want to manage the compilation 
flags themselves anyway. But I won't stand in your way, of course.

What if we change the name of the package to 'smhasher' and leave 
packaging the binary for later if someone is really interested?

Thanks
