I have released a -v2 of this patch.  The patch depends upon john-1.7.3.4 
and 1.7.3.4-jumbo-2.diff being installed.

Fixed in the -v2

-- any fixes/changes in jumbo-2
-- mmx working  (raw-md5 and generic md5)
-- md5_gen(12) and md5_gen(13) working faster
-- 5 new md5-generic primitives (for 2 above speedups), and a new flag
-- a silly compiler warning removed
-- the benchmarks for phpass_fmt were not right.  It was running just as 
fast, but showed only 1/4 speed

This patch can be found  on the wiki at:

The issue discussed in other posts on this thread, about the macxos-sse2 
rule is not in this patch, since a final desision upon fixing this has not 
been reached.  Thus, you may have to hand patch the makefile, if this issue 
has been a problem.  If hand fixing the make file, do so after applying the 
jumbo-2 and my -v2 patch.

Enjoy  Jim.
