I discussed this patch and addition with Stefan Esser this morning. He
also likes the idea of enabling both when necessary for all platforms.
One thing I will have to change in my patch is the blowfish salt
generation. Apparently some users were smart enough to store generated
password in the DB without having used a salt. As it is not portable,
it may break an app running on the same host. I'll try to update the
documentation with some recommendations (there is really crazy things
being done with crypt...).
Cheers,
