I have hacked up python's getpass.py to do password-prompting for Plan
9, so I can now do https authentication. I'll send the modified
getpass.py to 9fans after I've made sure it works ok. My Python-fu is
not great, so right now it just always assumes you're using Plan 9
(bad).

I did 'bind /bin/openssh/ssh /bin/ssh' before running this hg command,
but to no avail. I do have my public keys uploaded, so there shouldn't
be a problem there... however now that https works I don't necessarily
need the ssh support.
