You can even have different john builds on the same machine.
E.g., compiled with different compilers, because a few formats which are
not yet optimizes for speed are reasonably faster using a clang build,
compared to a gcc build.
Another example would be one build with OMP support, one without.
(For OMP builds, even the OMP_MAX_THREADS setting can make a difference.)
To get an overview, we could either collect "john --test" output files,
or we could collect information from "john --list=build-info", "john
--list=formats", "john --list=cuda-devices", "john --list=opencl-devices".
If we get huge input files during the contest, even available memory is
an important information to have.
