It was clearly stated (although he omitted number of iterations) but 
PBKDF2-HMAC-MD4/5 formats are so unintuitive your brain might have

That's what I thought when adding pbkdf2-hmac-md4 which is a totally 
useless format otherwise, not likely used anywhere IRL. We can now 
benchmark MD4 figures without bottlenecks. The format was obviously very 
trivial to add, more or less cp & sed. BTW I have added both of these 
formats for OpenCL too, for the same reasons. Super trivial, and great 
for benchmarking the raw hash code.

Sure. The tables are created by latest "testparas.pl" script in the src 
directory. BTW maybe we should add test vectors with 499 iterations... 
that way you could actually read the c/s figures as "K hash/s" :-)
