Subject: wbb3_fmt_plug.c is broken

Dhiru -

wbb3_fmt_plug.c is broken in terms of supporting multiple hashes per
salt.  It only supports exactly one hash per salt.  That is, if there
are any matching salts, it will misbehave.  Additionally, it does not
provide binary(), nor the hash functions, so loading may be slow.

You're using your approach learned on non-hashes almost universally now,
but it is a hack that should only be used when you actually have to.
When you implement support for "normal" hashes, please use JtR's
interfaces the way they were supposed to be used, without this hack.

Will you fix this one format, please?

Thanks,

Alexander
