    I don't think the Pine client itself requires that crypt() use DES
(pretty sure imapd doesn't either, but I haven't looked).  My
/usr/lib/libcrypt* is symlinked to /usr/lib/libscrypt*.  Pine 3.91
builds and runs just fine on my FreeBSD machines at IBMS (we use it to
connect to gate's IMAP server).
