Password strength meter

    I'd like to improve the password strength meter. Currently it provides a rough guide for password strength based on the length of password and what combination of characters are used.
    I'd like it to base password strength on shannon entropy and almost have a working piece of code but it occasionally give out a divide by zero error so isn't ready to be used yet.

    In the meantime, I plan on improving the character scoring system that the password generator uses.

    Since version 2.2.2.0 the password strength meter uses a variation on shannon entropy to calculate password strength.
    The password generator creates a randomly generated string using either the system uptime or program runtime as the seed.
