Yes, we're planning to work on this for Owl 4.0. Thank you for
reminding me of the link above (which I had seen before); I've just
added it along with the "equivalent" link for Ubuntu to the list of
references under the proper task here:

This is our ideas page for GSoC 2011 - yes, Openwall has applied to be a
mentoring organization this year. We should find out if we're accepted
or not soon, but we intend to work on the Owl tasks either way.
Would you like to work on this? Are you by any chance a GSoC eligible
student, and would you like to apply via GSoC if so?
