I know, I know. And I really don't mind removing link from website :)
Your're right; JtR's main site shouldn't be hosting every, err,

Because I was mentioning about salted domino patch optimization :>
Little inconsistency as I was also referring to single/incremental

I'd love to! Any hints? :)

I see. So what for this ./configure-like thingie would be used?
