A feature I would like included in this otherwise great
project, is the ability to use the password from a
file, or the command line, instead of using the prompt.

My intention is to use it on a safe computer (yeah,
nothing is, but still) and encrypt my automatically
generated backup and log files, before they are sent
off for storage (on a less safe computer).

My suggestion is to add the two options:
-k <key>
-f <ascii-file with key>

I think this is doable. Look for this in the next version. I
do have reservations about this since it is very insecure,
but since you've explained the scenario I think if I tell
people clearing in the readme and help stuff that this is
dangerous (and why) it should suffice.
