-lcrypt exists on a variety of systems --- you're showing undue
Linux-centrism here. But what I did was to set up the makefiles
so that -lcrypt is included in the shared library link commands
only if configure found that libcrypt exists. We've done this
for libpq itself since 6.4, and have not heard complaints, so
I'm probably being overly conservative to worry that it might
break the higher-level libraries.
