This is not perfect, but it might be useful for people who don't dare
to look at the sample hashes inside of the *_fmt*.c files:

Things are trickier for the dynamic formats, though.

OK, can anyone familiar with this stuff complete these two wiki pages,
please? -

http://openwall.info/wiki/john/sample-hashes
http://openwall.info/wiki/john/sample-non-hashes

(and keep them up-to-date and complete).

Adding a text file under doc/ would also be nice.

Oh, and we need to decide on the order of listing these sample hashes.
When there's 100 of them, listing them in arbitrary order will make it
difficult to find specific ones.
