I work at a company that uses authenticated proxy to access the web. In
order not to let my password exposed in clear text, I wrote this patch that
implement this function.

Ronan
Changelog:
2010-02-05 Ronan Resende <[email protected]>
* main.c (main): New code that handles prompting for proxy
passwords when specified explicitly via command-line option

commands.
