New feature: Encrypted gnatsd passwords


[I'm generally not going to add any new features before GNATS 4 is
released.  However some missing features can be considered being bugs
which should be fixed.]

I added support for MD5 encrypted passwords in gnatsd.access, based on a
patch by Tommi Virtanen.  Now you can use passwords prefixed with `$1$'
there, see the documentation of `crypt' in the GNU libc manual for more
details about the form of such passwords.  Passwords prefixed with $0$
are exact match passwords.  Other passwords remain the same as before,
i.e. case sensitive wild card match passwords.

pathetic excuse for a carreer behind super-macho languages like C, C++,
and/or Perl instead of writing clean, maintainable, efficient code, you
aren't much of a real programmer in my view.  -- Erik Naggum in comp.emacs
