[PATCH] Cache ssl client cert passphrase in gnome-keyring

From: Senthil Kumaran S <senthil_at_collab.net>

Hi,

As a follow up to the patch posted here
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2008-05/0337.shtml and the discussion went on
from there, I am posting a new patch which uses the gnome-keyring to store the
ssl client cert passphrase. Apart from this when we don't have gnome-keyring
support enabled, this patch makes it possible for the user to cache the
passphrase in the plaintext form in auth area, _only_ if the user desires.

This patch is based on the work done on
"dont-save-plaintext-passwords-by-default" and "gnome-keyring" branches. It
implements the caching of the passphrase in the same way as done in these branches.

I will start working on extending this for "KWallet" and "CryptAPI", before
which I would like to receive comments about this patch and get this into
trunk, if this looks fine.
