c731723730 Mod by Jack Jansen: on Macintosh, use EasyDialogs.GetPassword if it
exists.

0238a25b20 Do the check for lacking sys.stdin.fileno() *before* testing for
Windows.  If sys.stdin doesn't appear to be a real file (characterized
by having a working fileno()), don't use any console specific methods
-- go straight to the default.

ef0056ae1a When sys.stdin.fileno() doesn't work, fall back to default_getpass()
-- don't just die.

1a7bab05e8 Don't use raw_input() to ask for the password; this puts the password
in the GNU readline history buffer which is not such a great idea.

c3da02e904 Don't catch interrupts in getpass() -- the finally clause will reset
the tty and the caller can deal with the interrupt.

In the windows version, recognize ^C and raise KeyboardInterrupt (not
sure if this is needed, but can't hurt).

b5903ac9fb Another new utility: getpass() prompts for a password, with echo off.
Also contains getuser(), which returns the username (not prompting though).
These work on Unix and Windows!
