I got OpenMP support for MD5-crypt into the main tree, without
intrinsics for now.  This means that the above check will need to be
revised for 1.7.9 again - remove the "!defined(_OPENMP) &&" portion from
it such that we don't force the use of intrinsics for OpenMP.

Oh, and I'd appreciate testing of code currently in CVS.  Things that
need testing are: MD5-crypt in various builds, --make-charset (and use
of the resulting .chr files), bitslice DES on more archs (turns out
there was a problem on big-endian in last week's revision of the code,
should be fixed now).

Thanks,

Alexander
