Done.

Done.

Done. I'm using $JOHN/bin.

Working on this right now. ATM john loads the configs from $JOHN and
$ ../bin/john --list=ext-modes
works perfectly, next I've got to work to make it honor the new
variables in john.conf for the other files (charsets, *.log, *.pot,
etc.)

Should we keep the cuda and opencl kernels dir under bin or make a
specific directory for them (e.g. $JOHN/kernels)?
*hat tip*,
