Thanks for your support. Here goes an attempt.
I have mixed my suggestions with Denis idea of changing the hash algorithm
at the same time plus a few bits I found on the way.
Actions performed by this patch:
salt to be NULL, in which case it is treated as md5 hashed password.
*All entries can be automatically updated by a -to be written- script.
*Removes add salt on login code, per above.
*Salted passwords now use sha512 instead of md5.
*Adds requirement on hash extension (usually bundled as static).
*try_login() only performs one query to verify user login instead of 5.
*generate_salt now uses mt_rand()
*Reject passwords given by GET.
