It seems this was unanswered. Hacker's Delight by Henry Warren offers
a lot of material on such topics. For this particular question it also
gives the efficient implementation: 'p & -p'.
I looked over the recently posted stdbit.h patch and I don't have anything
to suggest in terms of formulas. The things that would worry me are of a
different nature anyway.
