Oh, sorry!
Was not me, a friend says me only, and I trusted him blindly. :-(

I check this quick on my PC: It works on Windows NT 4.0!

On this PC, I see that the passphrase was always visable on command 
prompt? Under Linux I never see my password on screen.


For next version on Linux:
Please create a stand a lone version with all libraries included as 
static. I have many trouble to install on varius Linux Distributions, 
such SuSE 7.1, SuSE 9.0 and Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike). In this 
all I have no the newest libc++ and boost. libpopt I have not in any 
SuSE distributions.

The problem was: I need a PC with libpopt and boost to make the static 
version. And under SuSE I the build make always a error. It's very 
difficuld to compile monotone on old system (older than 1 year).

A version without dynamic libraries is very big (6 MB for version 0.16), 
but it runs under all linux versions.
