I think you'll find some recent long discussions that touch on this
(related, though they don't discuss passwords for SSL keys) within
the past month on the dev list. And I believe the answer to your
question is that no, there's no other option as part of Subversion
right now on non-Mac, non-Windows platforms. On MacOS X and Windows
XP, the OS-sanctioned password holding facility is used. (I believe
it would work for SSL key passwords, though I don't know that.)
