I don't think this is worthwhile since it means less control of what
is happening, and especially worse interoperability with non PHP
clients which want to perform password checks. However, if you don't
mind the drawbacks it's fairly easy to implement a crypt()-based
password encoder.

Kind regards,
Johannes
