+ Busybox has internal DES and MD5 crypt functions.

- If you enable this option, it will add about 1.5k to busybox.
+ If you leave this disabled, busybox will use the system's

+ For busybox, having large static buffers is undesirable,
+ especially on NOMMU machines. Busybox also doesn't need
+ DES encryption/decryption and can do with smaller code.

+ If you enable this option, it will add about 4.8k of code
+ if you are building dynamically linked executable.
