Re: Declaration of crypt

Can you please define crypt, encrypt and setkey explicitely in unistd.h

independent, it would also be more correct.  As a side effect I will
have to come up with a new version of the crypt package, because our
crypt.h is using a wrong prototypes for setkey (const is missing).
setkey is supposed to be in stdlib.h rather than unistd.h, so I've done that.
One minor question about encrypt: The Posix prototype has 'char block[64]' as the first argument, but Cygwin's crypt.h simply has 'char *block'. FreeBSD and glibc also use 'char *block', so I did the same. Or would you rather follow Posix here? 


Thanks a lot and sorry again,


No problem.  Revised patch attached.
