Fix SF #640094, on win32 getpass runs into unix_getpass

nnorwitz · nnorwitz · commit 201626e00f87 · 2002-11-20T23:15:54.000Z
Make sure we have a UNIX-compatible termios.
Apparently, McMillan Installer made a termios on windows
which caused unix_getpass() to be used instead of win_getpass().

Will backport.
