perhaps something like g_hash_table_lookup_with_equal would be more
appropriate than changing the hash function out from under things. it
could look for a match with the supplied equal function rather than the
hash table's. i don't like the idea of the hash's equal function
changing after initial creation, that just sounds like problems waiting
to happen.
