Okay, your patch applies and compiles fine and I'm testing it now, but 
now that I finally read through the patch properly, I have a few concerns.

1.  Your patch needs a ChangeLog entry.

2.  It would be nice to support OTPs.  I'm thinking that a server which 
received an empty password could send a "send me a real password" to a 
properly equipped client.  I don't need to see this yet, though.

3.  I think I would also like future clients to accept a "-p" option to 
always request the password from the command line rather than looking in 
~/.cvspass so that users have the option to use a password not either 
stored in ~/.cvspass or passed in on the command line.  I will write 
this soon.
