However, I guess there still will be a problem with regression tests,
because pg_crypto will reports error in case when user tries to use
stronger cipher, but it generates diff between expected and real output.

I don't know if is possible select different output based on test if
strong crypto is installed or not. Maybe some magic in
Makefile/Configure. Test should be:

# ldd /usr/postgres/8.2/lib/pgcrypto.so | grep libcrypto_extra
# libcrypto_extra.so.0.9.8 => (file not found)

if output contains (file not found) library is not installed or not in
path (/usr/sfw/lib).
