I've thought about it, but haven't done it.  I *think* that it's fairly 
easy -- compile and install /usr/lib/libcrypt.*, and it should all just 
work -- the handful of programs I checked are dynamically linked, so 
they should automatically use the new version.

But I haven't quite had the nerve to try it yet...
