Hide password in command line

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,
it is more an enhancement request than a bug:

When gmail-backup is launched thru command line, the password can be read in 
clear text within the process list. Not very secure.

Can you add a mecanism where password can be read from a file, or modify the 
launch process to hide the password (like mysqldump by example)?

Thanks.

I would also really like this feature, I do not feel comfortable typing my 
password into command line in plain text.
