Subject: Cracking "Correct Horse Battery Staple" in JtR

I was wondering if there was a built in way to crack "random word"
passwords in JtR. For example Diceware generated passwords, or
http://xkcd.com/936/

In the past I've used a custom script combined with JtR's -stdin option to
combine words from a dictionary but it would be nice if there was a
ruleset, (I'm not sure if the Memory access rules could accomplish this),
or an external mode that could do this.

Thanks,
Matt
