Comment(by neteler):
In order to get interactive password prompting back (removed in r32551),
could we use code from here for *only* db.login?
sprompt.c: http://doxygen.postgresql.org/sprompt_8c_source.html
{{{
/*
* simple_prompt
*
* Generalized function especially intended for reading in usernames and
* password interactively. Reads from /dev/tty or stdin/stderr.
*
* prompt: The prompt to print
* maxlen: How many characters to accept
* echo: Set to false if you want to hide what is entered (for
passwords)
*
* Returns a malloc()'ed string with the input (w/o trailing newline).
*/
}}}
Rationale: It is "ugly" to send clear text passwords through command line.
