Hi,
I was asked to be able to use the same password
algo than linux distribution for its user database
Old distro use sha512 ($6$...)
New distro use yescrypt ($y$...)
So I choose to implement this using the
features from libxcrypt as an extension
This is only for Linux
This is not designed to improve security
but for compatibility reasons.

If no objection, and if good feedback from
the requester of this feature, I plan to
add this extension to pecl
Regards,
Remi
