also this function reads from /dev/tty. why?
So you can do things like this:
mcrypt <foo.nc >foo
and have it read the password from your terminal rather than from the file

One of the reasons it was deprecated is because it's not thread safe. It
still seems useful to me, I don't understand why there is no replacement.
