	I forgot to mention, that the userland utilities might
	make noise about include files and generate scarry
	warnings, just change <dev/vncrypt/vn_crypt.h> to
	"vn_crypt.h" in the necessary files, and copy or
	symlink the header files to that dir, as a temporary
	fix.

	Just tried to use the vncrypt device as per the
	instructions, and it works dandy.  By the way, use
	newfs /dev/vnc0c, since 5-CURRENT removed the
	concept of the 'c' node, otherwise you will get
	weird warnings when you just pass 'vnc0'.

	It works, I can mount, unmount, change passphrase
	do all the stuff.  When I get some time later tonight
	I will cleanup the patch and try to push the changes
	upstream to the author.

	Cheers,
