Why not use Gnu Privacy Guard (gpg) and allow the user to choose the key with 
which to encrypt?

Of course that now places a dependancy of gpg being installed upon your 
application.  However, you could take several routes with this.  Use crypt()
by default, and if installed, allow the user to use gpg, or, 
use autoconf/automake to detect that gpg is(n't) installed and do 
the appropriate thing.
