Comment (by coh):

 Added a somewhat improved version of both petrilli's and Rick van Hattem's
 patches. Notably changes include:

   * try to use os.random() for the salt generation with a fallback to
 random.sample, yet over the whole 256-bit range
   * use a final salt length of 128 bits
   * added SHA-512 support

 the patch is against svn rev 15346.

 Hope that it helps somebody.
