The current ml2john.py program produces hashes starting in
$pbkdf2-hmac-sha512$ and it uses '.' delimiter.
This change was done after multiple rounds of discussions with other developers.
IIRC in the past, we used to produce hashes starting with $ml$ with
'$' as the delimiter. I had no idea that an external tool had adopted
our "old-style" / development hash format.
magnum,
Please go ahead with the changes and thanks!
