I never understood why it cannot simply link -lcrypt, and let the
symlink decide which one to use.  Some trickery will be needed for
``make release'' in order to get both versions built, but that's
another matter.  I've once conditionalized some Makefiles on
RELEASEDIR since this happens to be always set while building a
release.
