Excellent, I'll do as I please then. I went with the first option: When
building, john.local.conf will be created (empty) if it does not exist.
But it will never be overwritten and no release tarball should ever
contain that file.
Also, I committed some other changes I thought are undisputable: Create
a rules section "Extra" for the, until now, commented-out rules of
Single mode. Also, add new rules "Single-Extra" (consisting of Single
plus Extra) and "Jumbo" (consisting of *all* rules we have, including
NT). I wanted to preserve the name "All" for local use, that's why I
used "Jumbo" instead.
