As warned yesterday, I've just removed the ability for libcrypt to
understand SHA-1 passwords. This was present but undocumented in the tree
for the past few months and was removed so it can be reimplemented
properly as part of a revamped libcrypt at a later date. Anyone who was
actually making use of the feature will have to update their passwords
back to MD5 before they reinstall the library.
