In the npasswd/passwd+ configuration files, it is possible to compare a
password to be confirmed with the output of a program (ie., checking for
inclusion in a dictionary).  Is it possible to perform some editing of
the password under test prior to comparing it to the output of a
program?

My particular question is about checking for passwords of the form:

	[DIGITS] WORD [DIGITS]

I would like to disallow any password which is composed of a dictionary
word preceeded by (or followed by) digits.
