That directive enables one to create the crc_table[256] array at run time, rather than compiling it into
the code.

One advantage of doing this is that it reduces the size of the code; only the function used to generate
the table needs to be stored in non-volatile memory, rather than the entire table (for a 32-bit long, the
table will occupy 1 kilobyte of memory).
