Обсуждение: pgcrypto 'cryptsrc' in Makefile: what is that?

In the Makefile for pgcrypto there's a cryptsrc variable you can set to
'builtin' or 'system'.

Makefile only references the variable when it's set to 'builtin'...  I
can't figure out what it's supposed to do when set to 'system'.

Anyone happen to know?

Thanks,
Colin

See the 'else' branch.

It makes pgcrypto use libc's crypt() instead of builtin code.

It is rather pointless option.  It is removed in 8.1.
