This may actually be a functionality loss for john. It bruteforces
encrypted or hashed passwords, so it supports old and weird algorithms.

Maybe it can pull SHA-0 from a package. Or maybe no one needs to
bruteforce anything that uses SHA-0 and SHA-0 support can be patched out
without complaint. We could also talk to upstream about adding a preproc
condition.
