The Blowfish check is for crypt() functions that use Blowfish instead of or in addition to MD5 or DES. (I believe FreeBSD is one of the ones to support multiple variations.) Since we're just using the system crypt() function, and it is one-way, there shouldn't be any crypto-law worries. Real Blowfish/Twofish/etc support would be cool, but there is that whole annoying munitions thing. Fortunately the PHP API is simple enough that people should be able to roll their own if they need it.
