How to use crypt(3) in windows?

Question

How can I invoke crypt(3) from a c program on a windows platform? I can't find a header file to include. I have MinGW with gcc and msys installed.

Edit: as an alternative, I would also accept a way to call this function (or an equivalent) from Visual Studio.

I suppose you may be missing it, or just don't realize you have it, but it seems like the answer, and I found it by typing "crypt mingw" into Google.

If you have the MSYS/crypt "dev" package, it should come with a "crypt.h" header file for you to include. – John Zwinck Jan 20 '11 at 14:56
