The was a tool in portage this did this. I tried it but it did not work
in the real world because you couldn't set a rule for generated passwords
that matched the requirements of all sites, for example some require a
non-alphanumeric character while other sites only allow alphanumerics.

I can remember what the tools was called, although I'm pretty sure it
was written in Python. I'd be interested to know how you get around the
conflicting restrictions as this seems a good way to do things.
