Any testers would be welcome.  I've only built it on 3 platforms (linux x86, Mac OSX Snow Leopard, OpenVMS Alpha) that are all little-endian, it will likely have problems on Sparc (especially the uaf2john program).

I've just placed this in here:

and I added a link from:

Please let me know if you think this should be presented differently.

I still think that support for the VMS hash types would be better
integrated into -jumbo directly, not only through runtime plugins.

Thanks,

Alexander
