the MD5 but on the CRC of the input strings.

During development, every time you change the C sources that you pass to
``cdef()`` or ``verify()``, then the latter will create a new module
-file name, based on the MD5 hash of these strings. This creates more
+file name, based on two CRC32 hashes computed from these strings.
+This creates more
and more files in the ``__pycache__`` directory. It is recommended that
you clean it up from time to time. A nice way to do that is to add, in
your test suite, a call to ``cffi.verifier.cleanup_tmpdir()``.
