	Tried that right away, but no good.  Still won't accept an encrypted
	password.  Also, tried setting -DSHADOW (I think), but it can't
	find shadow.h cause there ain't none.
	All in all, still can't get X running.  Combination of Logitech
	mouse not working at all (even with the stty trick), Microsoft mouse
	not releasing a button click, and xdm not liking encrypted passwords.
