I would like to add a libxcrypt package for guix. In several major linux
distributions it has become the default crypt library. I think it is that
case for Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, and perhaps others. In any case, it's
particularly useful for those who want access to numerous hashing
algorithms through crypt calls.

Thank you. I normalized your commit message, removed labels from
native-inputs, and applied your patch.
