The answer is: don't hard code passwords.

One workaround is to encrypt the password into a file, then decrypt it at runtime. With a 600 permission the encrypted file is not a complete sitting duck for users on your system to play with. This also has some security issues, but is a lot better than just putting a password into a C source file. The best solution is to get the password interactively at run time.

xml2-config

GNOME-XML(1)							       1.1.0							      GNOME-XML(1)

NAME

       xml-config - script to get information about the installed version of GNOME-XML

SYNOPSIS

       xml-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--libs] [--cflags] [--version] [--help]

DESCRIPTION

       xml-config  is  a  tool	that  is  used to determine the compile and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use
       GNOME-XML.

OPTIONS

       xml-config accepts the following options:

       --version
	       Print the currently installed version of GNOME-XML on the standard output.  Add the --static option to print the linker flags  that
	       are necessary to statically link a GNOME-XML program.

       --libs  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a GNOME-XML program.

       --cflags
	       Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a GNOME-XML program.

       --prefix=PREFIX
	       If  specified,  use  PREFIX  instead  of  the  installation  prefix that GNOME-XML was built with when computing the output for the
	       --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.
