[ANN] Encrypted Credential Store for Windows

Hi all,

I'd like to announce a new project called bzr-wincrypt, a credential
store for Bazaar that uses Windows's CryptoAPI to store and retrieve
encrypted passwords.

To install, go to your Bazaar plugins directory and:

bzr branch lp:bzr-wincrypt wincrypt_credential_store

To use:

C:\> bzr wc-register <scheme> <host> <user>
Password: <your password>

<scheme> should be something like 'http' or 'ftp'. It won't work for ssh
or sftp since Bazaar requires the use of an ssh-agent for those schemes.

<host> must be the exact host used in the branch URL that requires
authentication.

The encrypted password is stored in the wincrypt.conf file in your
Bazaar config directory. The encrypted form is supposedly only
decrypt-able by the same logged in user on the same machine.

The plugin should be compatible with Windows 2000 or newer and has been
tested with bzr 2.2.1 on Windows 7 x64.

Questions and criticisms are welcome.

Ciao,
Gordon
