I may sound harsh with this reply but, since you'd really love to see
jtr with CUDA OpenCL on windows, since john is open source and is based
on the effort of many people working in their free time and coding for
hobby, why not trying to compile and port it by yourself ? In this way
you'd help both yourself and john community.
