I don't have any strong attachment to the name, I tried to pick something descriptive.

Actually, I wasn't aware of compile-time plugins. I did the initial work for this enhancment a couple years ago on John 1.7.3.1, and earlier this summer decided to revisit it to update it for the official 1.7.8 release, not -jumbo. It appears the compile-time stuff assumes the module is a single source file, I have to consolidate 5 or so source files to follow that format. The project also includes a piece that lives on OpenVMS, i.e. the uaf_to_passwd program to convert the native password hash data to a ciphertext suitable for JtR to process.

I split off the register_dlls() function into a plugin.c with a plugin.h header file and generated a new .diff file, which I attached. I also produced a openvms_fmt_plug.c for the jumbo version that appears to function correctly. I left the FMT_LOADER function in the code, so it works either way.

The module is naturally multi-threaded, but I disabled it since I didn't know a simple way to test for the presence of pthread support. On my little Mac min (2 Ghz)i, incremental mode cruises along at 500,000 c/s when using both cores.
