Might as well use getpass() if available. My man page says "A getpass
function appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX.", so it should be available on
most systems.
However, I'm afraid many users have set up their systems to read the
password from stdin, so that should probably stay the default unless we
take a user poll.
