Bugzilla Bug 187320

johntheripper-1.7.2-r1 has various problems with its configuration, even after
reemerging it.  (The residual /etc/john and $HOME/.john directories were
removed manually after the package was unmerged to ensure a clean build.)

After cracking the first password, john fails with the following error:
   fopen: /etc/john/password.lst: No such file or directory

Touching this file allows john to continue, but not for long:
   fopen: /etc/john/all.chr: No such file or directory

password.lst and all.chr are actually stored in /usr/share/john.

The 1.7.2-r1 ebuild includes:
  -DJOHN_SYSTEMWIDE_HOME=\\\"\\\\\\\"/etc/john\\\\\\\"\\\"\"
which explains why it is not looking in the default location /usr/share/john.
If this is intentional, password.lst, all.chr etc. need to be moved to
/etc/john.

Thanks!
Sorry about this... This package had gone a major cleanup.
