0.9.7 caused massive havoc compiling kerberos 4 (and to some extent 5) when
I integrated beta 3 into the freebsd tree.  The crypt() macro was a minor
annoyance.  The bigger problem was the redefinition of the DES key state
block (from array to struct).  openbsd apparently has workarounds that
include mods to evp.h but I haven't looked closely at them.  I just took the
brute force approach and wacked the kerberos code which is probably
unnacceptable for long term maintenance.
