Bug #702: check_password.c not clear about minimum characters
http://tools.lsc-project.org/issues/702

At least for me, the check_password module is not very clear about minimum 
characters requested per class.

For instance minLower=0 or minLower=1 has the same effect (so the first 
occurrence of a lower case character scores +1 quality point).

How about changing the code like this?

if ( minLower && islower(pPasswd[i]) )

This way a minLower=0 means that lower case letters do not contribute to 
complexity, independently of their quantity.... 
The same of course for uppercase, numbers, and punctuation.

This is just a suggestion which comes from my understanding of the inner 
working of the module.

It may be just a very stupid idea!

Thank you anyway,
Enrico.
