BTW here's a list of such formats:
$ git grep -l v_width *fmt*c
opencl_encfs_fmt_plug.c
opencl_krb5pa-sha1_fmt_plug.c
opencl_ntlmv2_fmt_plug.c
opencl_office2007_fmt_plug.c
opencl_office2010_fmt_plug.c
opencl_office2013_fmt_plug.c
opencl_pbkdf2_hmac_md4_fmt_plug.c
opencl_pbkdf2_hmac_md5_fmt_plug.c
opencl_pbkdf2_hmac_sha1_fmt_plug.c
opencl_rakp_fmt_plug.c
opencl_sha1crypt_fmt_plug.c
opencl_wpapsk_fmt_plug.c
I tried PBKDF2-HMAC MD4, MD5 and SHA-1 but they all lost some performance.
