[PECL-DEV] New xpass extension - proposal

Hi,

I was asked to be able to use the same password
algo than linux distribution for its user database

Old distro use sha512 ($6$...)
New distro use yescrypt ($y$...)

So I choose to implement this using the
features from libxcrypt as an extension

This is only for Linux

This is not designed to improve security
but for compatibility reasons.

If no objection, and if good feedback from
the requester of this feature, I plan to
add this extension to pecl


Regards,
Remi
