This all looks really cool. I have two notes :
* It would be really nice to be able to provide the number of shards,
number of nodes and current node identifier on the john command line.
This would require thinking a bit about how the interface should look
like, because it should be the same for markov and wordlist (with rules)
mode.
* With incremental not limited to 8 characters anymore you will overflow
uint64_t with 95**10. While it is pretty unlikely the whole password
space will be explored, it would be nice to be able to start exploring it.
