I can figure out how to make a complicated brain wallet pass phrase. But it would be a heck of a lot more secure if it was encrypted using Scrypt. This would make brute force attacks require a lot more memory or processing power. I strongly feel that it is very important that the option to use Scrypt should be added.
I suppose I could encrypt my passphrase using Scrypt myself before adding it to this utility. But it sure would be a lot more convenient if there was an option to use Scrypt built into this utility. This would also offer a lot more protection to those who may not even be aware that using Scrypt can significantly increase the strength of your passphrase.
A simple check box to allow enabling of Scrypt with an optional field for salt should suffice. I don't think that anything more complicated than that should be added.

Here is an example of Scrypt being used in a web page: https://github.com/routman/brainwallet.io
