Please note that patch breaks the compilation if the `crypt' function is not present. It should handle the situation reasonably, possibly by never matching passwords not starting with $0$; the code must be #ifdefed appropriately.
I'll look into it as soon as I can.
I wouldn't like to make GNATS installation dependent on Perl (despite this is only a small utility), so the script should be written in C or in sh using standard Unix tools (I'd think about awk, I think it's present on every Unix system).
Yes, I'll see what I can get done. The only problem is that calculating MD5 hashes in a portable way in a shell script might prove to be a real challenge. It might be that we need a C program for the job. If so, I'll try to specify the intended behaviour to you.
