The "bigpatch" modifies the location john is looking for its
configuration file. I did this to match the behavior of the john debian
package. In order to make it work on your computer you can either:
* copy the john conf file into /etc/john/
* alter params.h, make clean and make again file so that it looks for
the file at the location of your choice

PS: you should not use the generic version. What is your exotic
architecture?
