a little amendment: the type of "data" must be unsigned char, else the
conversion of step 1 will be wrong. however the signedness of the type of
"x" does not matter.

Tigital's code may be faster than mine (or some parts of it may be, i
don't know) if you accept the fact that it contains mac-only code.
