README-glibc-crypt on ftp.gnu.org

[Andreas Jaeger]

I've updated the file README-glibc-crypt on ftp.gnu.org to point to
ftp.gwdg.de.

The text is now:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which
provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points.  Because
of the United States export restriction on DES implementations, we are
distributing this code separately from the rest of the C library.  There is
an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is called
`glibc-crypt-2.1.1.tar.gz' (or whatever the last version is).  You can just
unpack the crypt distribution along with the rest of the C library and
build; you can also build the library without getting crypt.  Users outside
the USA can get the crypt distribution via anonymous FTP from
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/glibc [134.76.11.100], or another archive site
outside the USA.  Archive maintainers are encouraged to copy this
distribution to their archives outside the USA.  Please get it from
ftp.gwdg.de; transferring this distribution from ftp.gnu.org (or any other
site in the USA) to a site outside the USA is in violation of US export
laws.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you like to have anything changed, please tell me.  Please note
that current versions of crypt (2.1 and newer) are not on ftp.gnu.org.

Are there any objections to remove all crypt 2.0.x versions also?  I'm
in favor of removing it since I see every odd day a report that crypt
2.0.6 doesn't work with glibc 2.1.2 :-(.

I've also  put the current linuxthreads add-on on ftp.gnu.org.

Last call for votes;-)

I didn't get any responses so far and will remove tomorrow the crypt
files if I don't get any objections.
