> Replacing DJBX33A's multiplier of 33 is also a different algorithm.  So is working with inputs other than unsigned bytes.

I would argue that this is just extending the parameters of the algorithm. If the algorithm is general enough, then that shouldn't be a problem.

> So is mucking with the inputs before adding them in.

Not really. If you consider it an algorithm for hashing a sequence, that is just changing the input sequence.
