Also worth noting perhaps that the long-awaited revision to NIST SP 800-63 (800-63 Rev 1) has been published this month, see

http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsSPs.html

As before Appendix A has a lot of material about password entropy. I don't know if it differs substantially from previous versions of 800-63. Still no spreadsheet as far as I can tell. But the overall document has gone from 54 to 109 pages, so it must be twice as good.
