Not as many features as this but if mkpasswd is a better name I'll
change it but I don't think I'll incorporate all those features.

[root at hvit loginutils]# size *.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
    196       0       0     196      c4 cryptpw.o
   3232     116     288    3636     e34 getty.o
   1844       0       0    1844     734 login.o
   3256       0     128    3384     d38 passwd.o
[root at hvit loginutils]# 

it's not exactly big right now. (but I wouldn't bet on it being possible
to make it even smaller.)
