Hi all,

I got bored of waiting for Petter to add the OpenSSL exception to
chntpw, so I've written the attached patch to port chntpw to libgcrypt.
I've based it on chntpw 0.99.5 070923 since I couldn't find a git, svn,
or cvs repository for it. I tested it with a Vista SAM and there was no
difference between the files produced by the OpenSSL version and the
libgcrypt version. The only difference now would be that libgcrypt in
Debian doesn't offer a static library, so a static version of chntpw is
not possible in Debian.

I place this patch in the public domain.

Petter: please add this patch upstream and or add the OpenSSL exception
so that free distributions can let their users benefit from chntpw.

Javier: please add this patch to the Debian package and move chntpw to
main so that Debian's users can benefit from chntpw. If you don't have
time to do so, I'm happy to do an NMU.
