Seems reasonable that String#crypt would generate a random salt if none is given.  I noticed other systems/languages
provide that.

  # Where String.rand_letter is a pseudo-function.

  def crypt(salt=nil)
    salt ||= String.rand_letter + String.rand_letter
    ...
  end

Thanks.

Sorry, I should have submitted that as a patch.
