Hmm. There's no need to have the password in a file, that can as well
be piped in ('cat passwdfile | openssl x509 -passstdin ...' to take a
Unixly example, and yes, there's a way to do that on VMS as well).
However, a choice of FD (if something other than stdin) could be
fancy.
For inspiration, you can do that with PGP 2.6.3 by putting the fd
number in the environment variable FD (surprise! :-)). Another way
might be to declare the fd through yet another parameter.
However, I'm not sure I see the absolute need for that kind of
fanciness...
