  I just did something similar for a customer. Basically I used
  john plus a dictionary and some handwork to create a reporting
  script. It was not a all-in-one solution but therefore had some
  more flexibility. Once you defined the specs you are looking
  for such a reporting script is easily written.
  Depending on what you define as "weak" using rainbow tables may
  serve your purpose better.

  Cheers,
