Supposing one installed 2.0.5 with the MD5 version of the crypt
libraries and then wanted to switch over to the DES libraries. What 
caveats are involved? Apart from encrypted passwords and suchlike, 
are there any other "things" to be taken care of? I'll summarize if
there's enough content. Should this be an FAQ? Thanks.
