This is the reason you need to use a third-party brute-forcing utility like expect to kludge plaintext passwords into things: It's a subtle message, writ in mile-high flashing neon, that doing so is an extremely bad idea. As you've independently discovered.

NEON-CONFIG(1)							neon API reference						    NEON-CONFIG(1)

NAME
neon-config - script providing information about installed copy of neon library SYNOPSIS
neon-config [--prefix] [[--cflags] | [--libs] | [--la-file] | [--support feature] | [--help] | [--version]] DESCRIPTION
The neon-config script provides information about an installed copy of the neon library. The --cflags and --libs options instruct how to compile and link an application against the library; the --version and --support options can help determine whether the library meets the applications requirements. OPTIONS
--cflags Print the flags which should be passed to the C compiler when compiling object files, when the object files use neon header files. --libs Print the flags which should be passed to the linker when linking an application which uses the neon library --la-file Print the location of the libtool library script, libneon.la, which can be used to link against neon by applications using libtool. --version Print the version of the library --prefix dir If dir is given; relocate output of --cflags and --libs as if neon was installed in given prefix directory. Otherwise, print the installation prefix of the library. --support feature The script exits with success if feature is supported by the library. --help Print help message; includes list of known features and whether they are supported or not. EXAMPLE
Below is a Makefile fragment which could be used to build an application against an installed neon library, when the neon-config script can be found in $PATH. CFLAGS = `neon-config --cflags` LIBS = `neon-config --libs` OBJECTS = myapp.o TARGET = myapp $(TARGET): $(OBJECTS) $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o $(TARGET) $(OBJECTS) $(LIBS) myapp.o: myapp.c $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c myapp.c -o myapp.o AUTHOR
