Compile JtR with OpenMP enabled to use all cores.

diff --git a/src/Makefile b/src/Makefile
-#OMPFLAGS = -fopenmp -msse2
+OMPFLAGS = -fopenmp -msse2

On my triple-core system, aircrack-ng is 2.2x faster than JtR (both
using all cores).

Lukas,

Can we borrow PMK calculation code from aircrack-ng since they are
using SSE2 implementation of SHA1?
