I just implemented this and posted to the wiki at
http://openwall.info/wiki/john/patches (patch 0027). You may like the
0012 patch too. Both are somewhat experimental - I'm not sure they will
stay as they are in next Jumbo.

Sample output:

$ rm -f deleteme && ./john -pot:deleteme -inc:alnum
~/src/john/john/test/NT_tst.in -fo:nt -crack-status
Loaded 1500 password hashes with no different salts (NT MD4 [128/128 X2
SSE2-16])

Note 1: Applying only patches 0012 and 0027 to a 1.7.8-jumbo-7 tarball
should work fine, ignore the warnings when patching.

Note 2: The figure is not words tried, but word/hash combinations tried.
So in the output above, it actually made the first correct guess
somewhere around 2352000/1500 = candidate number 1568. This can be a bit
confusing.
