Great. Is it normal (for your current tree) that descrypt-opencl and
raw-md5-opencl fail --test (in fact, the former segfaults) and that only
--mask mode works (no other modes)?

I've experimented with it a little. It successfully cracked my test
password (given a proper mask). The reported speeds appear to be wrong.
I am getting:
solar@...l:~/j/s/JohnTheRipper/run$ time ./john -form=raw-md5-opencl pw -mask=?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l

However, 26^8/62 = 3368178460, which is 3368M, not 4944K.
Also, why does it spend 17 seconds on initialization - what is it doing
during that time? Note: most of these 17 seconds are after the Loaded
line appears, so it's not LWS/GWS tuning.

I think NTLM, MSCash (DCC), LM may be next. (You don't have LM on GPU
yet, right? So you'd need to implement it along with mask right away.)
Also, how about making your code closer to becoming suitable for merging
into the main bleeding-jumbo tree? What would you need to do to make a
merge possible?

This could help Daniel's project, so I would in fact appreciate it if
you give this a try - just don't let it result in your own project
getting stuck/abandoned. Thanks!
