  Description     : bcrypt password hash function for Node.js

 bcrypt is an adaptive key derivation function based on the Blowfish
 cipher: over time, the iteration count can be increased to make it
 slower, so it remains resistant to brute-force search attacks even with
 increasing computational power.
 .
 Key derivation functions take a password, a salt, and a cost factor as
 inputs then generate a password hash. Their purpose is to make each
 password guessing trial by an attacker who has obtained a password hash
 file expensive and therefore the cost of a guessing attack high or
 prohibitive.
 .
 Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.

test dep for bcryptjs
i plan to maintain this under the js-team
