//------------------------------------------------------------------------
// BitPosition: Return the position of the single bit that is set in 'value'.
//
// Return Value:
//    The position (0 is LSB) of bit that is set in 'value'
//
// Notes:
//    'value' must have exactly one bit set.
//    The algorithm is as follows:
//    - PRIME is a prime bigger than sizeof(unsigned int), which is not of the
//      form 2^n-1.
//    - Taking the modulo of 'value' with this will produce a unique hash for all
//      powers of 2 (which is what "value" is).
//    - Entries in hashTable[] which are -1 should never be used. There
//      should be PRIME-8*sizeof(value) entries which are -1 .
//
