Thanks! I still believe we should do our prompting on the console,
instead of stdin/stderr - especially stdin should be free for use by
'svnadmin load', 'svn patch' and the like. Does anyone here still
think we should support the case of trying to 'drive' the interactive
prompts in command-line programs, programmatically? AFAIK, we've never
officially supported that sort of thing (especially password prompts),
and I don't see a need.

I'll come up with a patch using the Win32 functions from that article,
when I find the time, which probably won't be today.
