Unfortunately, with a john.con section

[Markov:broken:100]
Statsfile = $JOHN/stats
MkvLvl = 200
MkvMaxLen = 12

$ ./john --markov=[tab][tab]

will list as possible completions:
$ ./john --markov=
broken:100  default

$ ./john --markov=broken:100 --stdout|head -n 3
MKV start (lvl=200 len=12 pwd=259356431)
chanererere
chanerereri
chanererera

So, if implementing the next enhancement tales longer, I should at least
make sure that section names containing colons are not supported.
Additionally, I'll have to fix the problem(s) found by magnum.
