Thanks for the review, magnum. A new version of the patch, which
stores the entire "ssh key file" in john.pot is attached.

Usage:

1. Create a text file (called keys.txt) containing filename(s) of  the
SSH private key(s) to be cracked.
2. Run unssh as "unssh keys.txt sshdump".
3. Run JtR as "john -format=ssh sshdump".

Bugs:

1. "john -format=ssh --show sshdump" doesn't work currently.
2. gecos handling looks hacky :-).
