Sorry if i did not catch this ITP first hand but may i point out that there
are some
much more popular (by several orders of magnitude), and better maintained
(crc32 is six years old) alternatives out there:
https://github.com/SheetJS/js-crc32
https://github.com/alexgorbatchev/node-crc

This would probably means patches for the dependent module using crc32, yes,
but 1. upstream of that dependent module should consider switching
and 2. the six years old module will probably require patches as well.
