I have almost finished the split apart, it is NOT pleasant, but I think I have gotten it to work. There are 5 patches. 2 of these are system ports, so are uber important to most users (if they are not using mingw or MSVC). However those patches do cause some split apart / re-merge collisions because they touch a lot of stuff. I have them so these 2 patches (the VC patch is actually the MinGW patch plus additional VC specific stuff, since you will still need MinGW to do a VC build). The other 3 patches are the performance patch (the most problematic and collision prone of the patches), and the phpass-3 and raw-md5-SSE2. The patches are: john-1.7.3.1-all-5-fast-rawMD5-SSE2-1.diff john-1.7.3.1-phpass-3.diff john-1.7.3.1-all-5-several-performance-updates-1.diff depends upon john-1.7.3.1-all-5-fast-rawMD5-SSE2-1.diff and john-1.7.3.1-phpass-3.diff john-1.7.3.1-all-5-mingw-1.diff john-1.7.3.1-all-5-VC-with-mingw-1.diff I will get them up on wiki soon. I am still testing and working out a couple of 'missed' items, and will re-test to make sure collisions are ironed out. For the john-1.7.3.1-all-5-several-performance-updates-1.diff, I could not make it 'stand alone' against the jumbo-5 patchlevel. It required both phpass-3 and rawmd5-sse2-1 to be installed, since it made modifications in collision parts of those files. But the other 4 'should' work in pretty much any order. NOTE that a user should install only one of the patches mingw-1 or VC-with-mingw-1 If a person is going to use mingw, he could patch with either one. If a person wants to take a stab at getting john running under VC (only works with x86-any at this time), then he must install the the VC-with-mingw-1 since it adds #defined __MINGW32__ and numerous #defined _MSC_VER stuff. Getting John working under visual studio is more complex than I will be writing about in this post. I will follow up with that one on a later post, but for now, I want to get the patch out.
