I ve reviewed this patch and made many changes to it. For a short time I would 
like to commit these changes to a separate branch ie., 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/branches/gpg-agent-password-store 
It will be in this branch for a couple of days when I shall do more tests and 
then merge it to trunk.

After looking deep inside this solution, I came to a conclusion that gpg-agent 
can give a platform/desktop env independent solution for password caching. 
gpg-agent may work in doze too!

Thank You.
