Neat! That makes four different SSL implementations supported by curl.
That's a lot of choice.

The libcurl philosophy is to leave all interaction with the user to the
front-end; passwords should be requested by the curl tool and passed in
via curl_easy_setopt. curl already has a function getpass_r for this that
does the right thing on multiple platforms.

This patch would get more feedback if sent to the curl-library mailing list.
