Generate SHA256-CRYPT hash for key with salt.
Generate SHA512-CRYPT hash for key with salt.
The Makefile uses the PGXS infrastructure to find include and library files, and determine the install location.
Build and install with GNU make (possibly invoked as gmake on a non-GNU system):
$ make
$ (sudo) make install
