use global data. The simplest fix is to only check blowfish passwords,
and implicitly lock out DES passwords.
crypt_checkpass is currently only used in one place, passwd, to verify
the local user's password, so this is probably acceptable.
Gives people a little more time to migrate away from DES before introduing
checkpass into more places.
effectively disabled support for the SSL protocols. SSL remains a
common term describing SSL/TLS, there is some controvery about this
change, and the name really doesn't matter, but I feel confident about
it now.

OK benno@, with input from tedu@
the same thingies. Therefore these "lists of functions" man pages can go
away.
Hurray! I've wanted these pages to die for around 10 years!

to returning strong random by default, source from arc4random(3).
Parameters to the seeding functions are ignored, and the subsystems remain
in strong random mode. If you wish the standardized deterministic mode,
call srand_deterministic(), srandom_determistic(), srand48_deterministic(),
seed48_deterministic() or lcong48_deterministic() instead.
The re-entrant functions rand_r(), erand48(), nrand48(), jrand48() are
unaffected by this change and remain in deterministic mode (for now).
Verified as a good roadmap forward by auditing 8800 pieces of software.
Roughly 60 pieces of software will need adaptation to request the
deterministic mode.
Violates POSIX and C89, which violate best practice in this century.

Some 64-bit platforms (e.g. Windows 64) have a 32-bit long. So, shifting
1UL 32-bits to the left causes an overflow. This replaces the constant 1UL with
(size_t)1 so that we get the correct constant size for the platform.
discussed with tedu@ & deraadt@
breaking the hardlink between file system entries, confusing apropos(1).
Split malloc.conf(5) out of malloc(3) as suggested by deraadt@.
Feedback and OK jmc@, OK deraadt@ tedu@ jasper@.
Several functions that need to be redefined for a Windows port are right
in the middle of other code that is relatively portable. This patch
isolates the functions that need Windows-specific implementations so
they can be built conditionally in the portable tree.
