The hash function you're replacing is called DJB2; I think that's worth
mentioning.
Performance test results would be nice. No idea how to find edge cases,
though, or better: demonstrate a lack thereof.

Ouch. Defining FNV32_BASE and FNV32_PRIME here would be much easier
overall. And if that's too much duplication then those definitions
could be extracted into a new header file (fnv32.h?) included by both
hashmap.h and xutils.c.

All the memhash_feed() callers in this file cast to unsigned char. A
macro or a function (possibly inline) defined at the top could do
that for them.
