You forgot to call common_init().  Adding this call makes MD5 work in
your test2.c (I did not try other hash types).

Didn't you just say that you couldn't get LM to work?

P.S. In order to achieve these routines' full performance, you should
invoke crypt_all() on at least min_keys_per_crypt candidate passwords
at once and use hash tables and/or cmp_all().  cmp_one() and cmp_exact()
are not meant to be performance-critical and are programmed accordingly.
