This jQuery plugin looks to address the needs for a good password meter:
http://asgaard.co.uk/misc/jquery/index.php?show=password

It checks the randomness of the string given rather than for any
specific rules (unless you add the rules you want).

Good points to note:
- deals with min length
- allows custom rules
- handles long strings of words
- sees alpha string suffixed with numerals as less secure than alphanumeric string where everything is mixed together
- sees sequential strings or repetition of letters / numbers as being less secure than non sequential / repeated strings 
- is a jQuery plugin
- looks to be open-source

Title:
  implement a "password strength" meter that shows strength of password
  as user is typing it in

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  This is for when users are changing password/admins setting password
  first time, etc.

  Having a pretty meter next to it showing how "strong" the password is
  would be pretty cool
