The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which
-provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points. Because
-of the United States export restriction on DES implementations, we are
-distributing this code separately from the rest of the C library. There is
-an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is called
-`glibc-VERSION-crypt.tar.gz'. You can just unpack the crypt distribution
-along with the rest of the C library and build; you can also build the
-library without getting crypt. Users outside the USA can get the crypt
-distribution via anonymous FTP from ftp.uni-c.dk [129.142.6.74], or another
-archive site outside the USA. Archive maintainers are encouraged to copy
-this distribution to their archives outside the USA. Please get it from
-ftp.uni-c.dk; transferring this distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu (or any
-other site in the USA) to a site outside the USA is in violation of US
-export laws.
