with regard to 3- I've engaged a friend of mine to help generate stats and
store them in some simple db, csv/xml/mysql, you can read some of my
thoughts about it here: http://www.openwall.com/lists/john-users/2010/08/25/2
Tougher passwords are where the stats will really help, but some may find
the ones that fall quickly and why of equal use. I'll update when we get
something written, still planning it right now and extra time is tight.
