Hrrmm... well, Peter W. took the time to beat the reality of the
situation into me, and I think I have an understanding of it now. If I
understand it correctly the new default if you compile with src/secure
in your tree is going to be the equivalent of having libcrypt.* ->
libdescrypt.* always, with the current ability to grok MD5, and return
MD5 by default if fed an MD5 salt built in.
Assuming I understand this correctly, I withdraw my objection, and
thanks to Peter for taking the time to 'splain it.
