-lcrypt revisited



	Why do we have a libcrypt at all?

	Its an empty library - only there for compatability with NetBSD -
	but as it has a differend major number to the NetBSD version it
	isnt used by NetBSD apps. Also now that nothing in the OpenBSD
	source tree uses it the _only_ reason to have it would be
	'compatability' at link time for external source, so makefiles
	with -lcrypt do not break.

	Shouldn't we just lose it - or only build a static version at
	least?
