It has been used in unix for some time now. $1$SEED$HASH is MD5;
depending upon what OS you use the number differs in the hash. Years
ago I rewrote crypt for FreeBSD to use $3$ for SHA1. I know Redhat is
now using $6$ for a form of SHA, I don't know which one.

Where is the standard that defines what the hash format is for the
various {types} ?
This is basically to make migration easier, if I could reformat a
"$1$seed$hash" into "{SMD5}hashseed"? and stuff it into userPassword,
the users have no disruption.
