There are two kinds of plugins: One is binary (presumably for 
closed-source formats) and I know very little about it. The other one is 
that you just have your new source file name end in "_fmt_plug.c". This 
will make it be used automatically without adding lines in john.c - you 
just create the new file in src/ and re-build.

I think md4_gen_fmt_plug.c is a good template for you. Copy that, 
keeping the suffix of "_fmt_plug.c" and as a minimum change FORMAT_LABEL 
and the "fmt_md4_gen" name at the bottom.

If you mean HAVE_OPENSSL, it's not defined so your code will be used.
