Bug#831296: Please allow reading password from elsewhere

[martin f krafft]

Package: hdav
Version: 1.2-1+b4
Severity: wishlist

I don't want the password to show up in argv… sure,

  --password $(cat =(echo 's3cr3t'))

works, but it'd be nice if there was another way, including
prompting, or a session config file.
