The ftp server automagically gzips it if you specify file.foo.gz.

   gen-oth.krn.gz:    44K

Ah, Jason just pulled up the fix.  The next snapshot will have it.

There is an exportable libcrypt that appears in base.tar.gz when someone
builds the world with EXPORTABLE_SYSTEM set.  The libcrypt you are seeing
is the exportable one.

The domestic libcrypt and family will still be in libcrypt in the release,
but I'm not bothering with building that in the snapshots.  Afterall, the
purpose of the snapshot is to help people jump up to the latest rev of
NetBSD.

Thanks for bringing this up.  I added a paragraph to the README explaining
that this snapshot is exportable.  (You reminded me of something that I
forgot to do.)
