I want to have option to build libdescrypt (one my system is DES-
enabled, and as far as I know no DES->MD5 migration is possible)
I know that libdescrypt can verify MD5 passwords but stores new one 
in DES. Why libscrypt can't do the opposite?!

I've put NOSECURE into /etc/make.conf without result.

But, first I need to have libscrypt.* build during world process, do 
I?  ;->
