A 16 byte string (or a reference to one) to use as the seed for
the hashing and generation process. If this is omitted a standard default
is chosen.

If it should prove impossible to construct a solution using the seed chosen
then a new one will be constructed deterministically from the old until a
solution is found (see L<max_tries>) (prior to version v0.10 this used rand()).
Should you wish to access the seed actually used for the final solution
then you can pass in a reference to a scalar containing your chosen seed.
The reference scalar will be updated after successful construction.

Thus both of the following are valid:

    Tie::Hash::MinPerfHashTwoLevel::OnDisk->make_file(seed => "1234567812345678", ...);
    Tie::Hash::MinPerfHashTwoLevel::OnDisk->make_file(seed => \my $seed= "1234567812345678", ...);

=item compute_flags

This is an integer which contains various flags which control construction.
They are as follows:
