Yes, this would also be needed for a 'crypt' module. Now the other part,
which is also needed for portable applications, is to fix this portability
problem:
This function is missing on some platforms:
FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0, Cygwin, mingw.
In other words, add replacement code to gnulib (either freshly written,
or taken from glibc).
