Some Linux distributions are experimenting with a new, separately
maintained and hopefully more agile implementation of the crypt(3)
API.  To facilitate this, add a configure option which disables
glibc's embedded libcrypt.  When this option is given, libcrypt.*
and crypt.h will not be built nor installed.

unistd.h continues to define _XOPEN_CRYPT to 1 and to declare crypt.

This is of course no longer true, it was removed in the first patch("New configure option --disable-crypt.").
