The format could be made to recognize $episerver$*0* as well, but store
new cracked hashes as $msnet$*0*

BTW: Shouldn't the 0 be changed to something else?
Otherwise, it might be confused with PasswordFormat = 0 which means
Plaintext, according to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa478949.aspx
(Whatever 1 = Hashed and 2 = Encrypted mean. Will 1 = Hashed be used
both for SHA-1 and SHA-256?)
