OpenBSD just committed a new encryption method using blowfish.  This
has a much larger salt space as well as a much harder to break
encryption scheme.  Preliminary indications are that it looks really
good.  They implemented this much like md5, but with its own code.

I think we should bring this into FreeBSD.  What do others think?
