 * I know there has got to be a way to do this… just don’t know how. 😉
 * There is a function, wp_generate_password() in WP that does what it says, generates
   a password. The problem, is the password generated is a bit too secure for my
   client’s tastes.
 * Instead of hacking WP, I’d like to create a plugin that replaces wp_generate_password()
   with my own version.
 * Is this possible? If so… how?
