/*
 * simple_prompt
 *
 * Generalized function especially intended for reading in usernames and
 * password interactively. Reads from /dev/tty or stdin/stderr.
 *
 * prompt:      The prompt to print
 * maxlen:      How many characters to accept
 * echo:        Set to false if you want to hide what is entered (for passwords)
 *
 * Returns a malloc()'ed string with the input (w/o trailing newline).

     * A Windows console has an "input code page" and an "output code page";

     * code page" defined at system boot and expected of "char *" arguments to
     * Windows API functions.  The Microsoft CRT write() implementation
     * automatically converts text between these code pages when writing to a
     * console.  To identify such file descriptors, it calls GetConsoleMode()
     * on the underlying HANDLE, which in turn requires GENERIC_READ access on
     * the HANDLE.  Opening termout in mode "w+" allows that detection to
     * succeed.  Otherwise, write() would not recognize the descriptor as a
     * console, and non-ASCII characters would display incorrectly.
     *
     * XXX fgets() still receives text in the console's input code page.  This
     * makes non-ASCII credentials unportable.
