This patch add the scriptformat 'encrypted' which will simply encrypts
the scriptfile using DES.

Usage:
1) set scriptformat to encrypted:
SET SCRIPTFORMAT ENCRYPTED;

2) add a key in your jdbc url:
jdbc:hsqldb:file:data/database/script;key=12345678

The key should be 8 ASCII characters.

    Why still use DES? I'm not sure if DES is the best encryption algorithm to
    use. Blowfish could be a better alternative for example. Blowfish is
    supposed to be faster and by allowing a variable key length (32 to 448 bits,
    DES is 56 bits) it is less vulnerable to brute force attacks.

    Actually... it has been changed now, when we have some spare
    time, we'll upload the Blowfish version
