  shadow files, directory access and more.
  Requires: OS Support for various systemcalls. Detected by configure.
  Principal Author: Marek Habersack <grendel@caudium.net>

Mhash:

  A glue to the Mhash library hashing library. It provides fast
  implementations of a large number of hashing algorithms.
  Requires: Mhash library from http://mhash.sourceforge.net/
  Principal Author: David Hedbor <david@caudium.net>
  TODO: Hashed password support.

mcrypt:

  A glue to the mcrypt library, which provides a large number of
  encryption routines using a plugin based architecture.
  Requires: libmcrypt from http://mcrypt.hellug.gr/#_libmcrypt
  Principal Author: David Hedbor <david@caudium.net>

Newt:

  A module adding Newt support for Pike.
  Requires: The newt library
  Principal Author: Zsolt Varga <redax@caudium.net>

_Newt:

  Experimental module for Newt support. It's a different approach to the
  subject, thus a separate module.
  Requires: The newt library

  TODO: Complex functionality like regexp replacing.

PDF:

  A glue to PDFlib. Allows for dynamic generation of PDF files from
  within Pike. See src/PDF/README for special instructions on compilation.
