Failed quickly for me: (john-1.7.9-jumbo-7)
In file included from dynamic_fmt.c:69:0:
sha.h:4:25: fatal error: openssl/sha.h: No such file or directory

I thought about trying to add the flags, but I chickened out, figured
I'd put them in around line 1317 (win32-cygwin-x86-sse2i:) of the
makefile, but I don't know what I'm doing :)

I tried peflags it seems to have worked on the face of it
peflags --dynamicbase=true --nxcompat=true ../run/john.exe

peflags ../run/john.exe -v
Warning: file has no relocation info but has dynbase set (../run/john.exe).
../run/john.exe:
coff(0x032f[+relocs_stripped,+executable_image,+line_nums_stripped,+local_syms_stripped,+bigaddr,+32bit_machine,+sepdbg])
pe(0x8140[+dynamicbase,+nxcompat,+tsaware])

 peflags ../run/john.exe -v      (fresh make)
../run/john.exe:
coff(0x032f[+relocs_stripped,+executable_image,+line_nums_stripped,+local_syms_stripped,+bigaddr,+32bit_machine,+sepdbg])
pe(0x8000[+tsaware])

PEstudio thinks it uses DEP, however Sysinternals (M$) process
explorer doesn't seem to think DEP is going when it's being run on XP.
It (process explorer) does see both ASLR and DEP in windows 7 when
dynamicbase and nxcompat are both set using peflags. XP must need
opt-in, haven't messed around with it in some time.
