It is UNFORTUNATE that this is an OS question.  It really SHOULD be a C
question.  There SHOULD be a standard way to specify "I don't want the
input echoed".  Of course there are some limitations; some OS's don't make
this easy or even possible.  But at least there should be a standard way
to target it.
