Seems we don't have crypt support, so you can't send crypt passwords
from an ODBC client. That is news to me.
From looking there, and looking at pg_hba.conf, we have both 'password'
and 'crypt' authentication in there.
However, this is not a problem because we can still do backend-only
crypting when comparing client-sent cleartext passwords to pg_shadow
passwords.
