I don't think that's the right approach. libpgtcl doesn't depend on
libcrypt. libpq does, and that's where we need to fix this, or else
we'll see the same problem with any other shared library that depends
on libpq.
Would you check whether it works to add the following patch to
src/interfaces/libpq's Makefile, and then build libpgtcl *without*
a reference to crypt? (I can't test it here since crypt is part of
libc on my machine...)
