It definitely makes sense to move encrypt.el into Emacs as well then.
My main concern was that it overlaps with all the other *crypt*.el
packages, and I really think that encrypt.el's simplicity and
non-invasiveness justifies its existence. But it requires password.el.
I'm open to suggestions as to the best way to manage it.

So I actually posted a pointer to the instructions :) Sorry for the
confusion, I didn't remember so long ago.
I have updated the docs in the code since, with the setup I use
day-to-day and which I am confident is reliable. So encrypt.el has, at
the very beginning of the file, docs sufficient to get started using it
to keep encrypted netrc/authinfo files.
