Bugzilla Bug 193088

util-linux 2.12 has support for loop-aes using the 'crypt' use flag.  That was
dropped from 2.13.  I've patched util-linux-2.13-r1.ebuild to add loop-aes
support back in, with the 'crypt' use flag; will submit a diff against the
ebuild and the couple of files I had to add/tweak in files/.

There have been several bugs filed about 2.13 not supporting crypt, but as far
as I can tell these were all from when 2.13 was still masked experimental, and
the answer was always "Don't do that, can't you read?"  Now that 2.13 is
unmasked, the lack of loop-aes support is a big problem for those of us using
loop-aes (as I am on a half-dozen boxes).

Some caveats: first, I'm sure I didn't do this the best way; I'm still an
ebuild noob.  Second, I've not attempted to keep the 'old-crypt' use flag, so
some functionality is still missing.
