Some versions of crypt already know md5.

Maybe we can make it for just Linux. Because I have needed it in the past
when PAM was not setup.

Maybe:

.if ${OPSYS} == "Linux"
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=	--with-md5-passwords
.endif

Maybe it is fine for NetBSD too.

Two PRs are related to this:

#16546: security/openssh lacks MD5 passwords support
 http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=16546

and my PR # #20846: allow PAM for pkgsrc/security/openssh under Linux
 http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=20846
