<longdescription>
The @base@ library exposes the @hGetEcho@ and @hSetEcho@ functions
for querying and setting echo status, but unfortunately, neither
function works with MinTTY consoles on Windows. This is a serious
issue, since @hGetEcho@ and @hSetEcho@ are often used to disable
input echoing when a program prompts for a password, so many
programs will reveal your password as you type it on MinTTY!
This library provides an alternative interface which works
with both MinTTY and other consoles. An example is included
which demonstrates how one might prompt for a password using
this library. To build it, make sure to configure with the
@-fexample@ flag.
