The configuration helps unit testing: see changes on Lib/test/*.py in
my last patch. I hesitate to say that the configuration is required
for tests. Anyway, users upgrading from Python 3.2 to 3.3 may need to
keep the same hash function and don't care of security (e.g. programs
running locally with trusted data).
