Rather than merely explain this on the mailing list, I've just updated
the charset.c file adding plenty of comments on charset_generate_order()
explaining what it does, why it does that, and how it works:
http://cvsweb.openwall.com/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/Owl/packages/john/john/src/charset.c
http://cvsweb.openwall.com/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/Owl/packages/john/john/src/charset.c.diff?r1=1.6;r2=1.7;f=h
http://cvsweb.openwall.com/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/Owl/packages/john/john/src/charset.c.diff?r1=1.6;r2=1.7
Enjoy!
Since the source code is self-explanatory to me (even after all those
years), the verbose comments only make it harder to read and edit for
me... but I guess that's the price to pay for making it easier for
others to "get into" the code.

You don't really have to duplicate the order[] calculation - you can
extract the order[] out of an existing .chr file. I understand that you
may want to re-implement everything yourself, though. :-)
