+CrackLib is a library containing a C function (well, lots of functions
+really, but you only need to use one of them) which may be used in a
+"passwd"-like program.
+
+The idea is simple: try to prevent users from choosing passwords that
+could be guessed by "Crack" by filtering them out, at source.
+
+CrackLib is an offshoot of the the version 5 "Crack" software, and
+contains a considerable number of ideas nicked from the new software.
+
+
+NOTE THIS WELL: CrackLib is NOT a replacement "passwd" program.
+CrackLib is a LIBRARY.  CrackLib is what trendy marketdroid types would
+probably call an "enabler".
+
+The idea is that you wire it into your _own_ "passwd" program (if you
+have source); alternatively, you wire it into something like "shadow"
+from off of the net.  You can use it in other things, too.
