I'd love to avoid embedding a Python script in there[1], but it
doesn't look like openssl supports the same strong hashing
algorithm we're currently using, and I'm not sure modern guest OSs
would be happy with such a weak hash.

Another option would be to hard-code some pre-generated salt. I'm
not 100% clear of the security implications of doing something
like that though, to be honest.


[1] At least until the time we inevitably want to rewrite the tool
    itself in Python[2], that is.
[2] Unless we decide to pick Go instead, of course :)
