glibc has a pretty nice function called crypt_r(3), which is nothing
more than crypt(3), but thread-safe. It accomplishes this by introducing
a 'struct crypt_data' structure that contains a buffer that is large
enough to hold the resulting string.
Let's go ahead and also add this function. It would be a shame if a
useful function like this wouldn't be usable in multithreaded apps.
Refactor crypt.c and all of the backends to no longer declare static
arrays, but write their output in a provided buffer.
There is no need to do any buffer length computation here, as we'll just
need to ensure that 'struct crypt_data' is large enough, which it is.
_PASSWORD_LEN is defined to 128 bytes, but in this case I'm picking 256,
as this is going to be part of the actual ABI.

This was given to me _ages_ ago. May apologies to Paul for the length
of time its taken me to commit.

for crypt(3) by now. In any case:
Add crypt_set_format(3) + documentation to -lcrypt.
Add login_setcryptfmt(3) + documentation to -lutil.
Support for switching crypt formats in passwd(8).
Support for switching crypt formats in pw(8).
The simple synopsis is:
edit login.conf; add a passwd_format field set to "des" or "md5"; go nuts :)

Secure Hashing Algorithm - 1 (SHA-1), along with the further
refinement of what $x$salt$hash means. With this new crypt the
following are all acceptable:
$1$
$MD5$
$SHA1$
Note: $2$ is used by OpenBSD's Blowfish, which I considered adding
as $BF$, but there is no actual need for it with SHA-1. However,
somebody wishing to add OpenBSD password support could easilly add
it in now.
There is also a malloc_crypt() available in the library now, which
behaves exactly the same as crypt(), but it uses a malloced buffer
instead of a static buffer. However, this is not standard so will
likely not be used much (at all).
Also, for those interested I did a brief speed test Pentium 166/MMX,
which shows the DES crypt to do approximately 2640 crypts a CPU second,
MD5 to do about 62 crypts a CPU second and SHA1 to do about 18 crypts
a CPU second.
