Comment (by mojorob):

 This may be a daft question, however I suspect WordPress already checks
 version of PHP somewhere.  Therefore is it not possible to have a check if
 PHP is => 5.5.0 then use the native password hashing functions?
 (password_hash etc.)

 It would seem a fairly good & light option for those hosting on more
 recent versions of PHP.
