crypt(1) doesn't exist in SUSv2 nor did it exist in XPG3 back in 1987.
It's a OS dependent application which you can't expect to do the same
or even exist on other OSes.  Cygwin's crypt(1) is just for the purpose
of creating a DES encrypted password for 9x/Me users.  That's fine. 
Having crypt(1) doing something else on other OSes is fine, too.

You're not honestly assuming that Michael and Chris don't know
what that error means, do you?  That's called "irony".
