Short Description
Build problems with 7.3.1 and 7.3.2 on SunOS (crypt.h) + Solution

Long Description
Hi,
As per request from Justin Clift [justin@postgresql.org].
I think I have found a small issue,

During build at fe-connect.c the following errors occur:
gcc -L/spare1/local/lib -I/spare1/local/include -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -fPIC -I.
-I../../../src/include-I/spare1/local/include  -DFRONTEND -DSYSCONFDIR='"/spare1/local/etc/postgresql"'  -c -o
fe-connect.ofe-connect.c 
In file included from fe-connect.c:47:
/usr/include/crypt.h:22: parse error before `('
/usr/include/crypt.h:22: parse error before `const'
gmake: *** [fe-connect.o] Error 1

I found that reordering the includes in fe-connect.c as bellow fixes the problem, (I uses fe-auth.c as a guide, which
compilesok) 

#ifdef HAVE_CRYPT_H
#include <crypt.h>
#endif

#include "libpq-fe.h"
#include "libpq-int.h"
#include "fe-auth.h"

uname -a
SunOS hostname 5.8 Generic_108528-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/2.95.3/specs
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)

Also
I am linking in OpenSSL 0.9.7,
I also viewed the Solaris version of this include <crypt.h> and have found that there is nothing wrong with it.

side note:
Reading this url is mandatory on this platform.
