#172 cvs should asks for passwords in a dialog

[Heiner Eichmann]

I'm using gcvs 1.0 on FreeBSD 4.7. When I connect to a
CVS repository using ssh (like sourceforge), cvs asks
for a password on several actions (like adding new
files). This question os asked on the console where I
started gcvs. If started from a KDE start menu (no
console) gcvs seem to hang (no chance to enter the
password).

The password question should be asked in a dialog and
the answer should be remembered.

After installing 1.0 on gentoo linux I saw, that the same problem exists here
as well. As a workaround I wrote a small hack. Compile the attached .c file
and launch it. It starts gcvs. All ssh questions are filtered out and presented
in a dialog. The result is stored. Maybe somone wants to add it to gcvs...
