Hello,

	first of all *this is not the latest john*. This is contributed stuff,
and in that case, far from the code quality of john.

	I planned on modifying this mess by just creating the md5 BODY function
in asm and handling all the work in C. The alternate functions could be
used by such a program. Good luck with it :)
