Support stdin and stdout

It would be great if ncrypt could read from stdin and write to stdout, similar to how tar and bzip work. Eg. say I want to compress AND encrypt some files I could do it in one go (faster and using less disk space) by running something like:

tar jc myfiles |ncrypt -e >myfiles.tar.bz2.encrypted

Same for decrypting.

Command line password input

A feature I would like included in this otherwise great
project, is the ability to use the password from a
file, or the command line, instead of using the prompt.

My intention is to use it on a safe computer (yeah,
nothing is, but still) and encrypt my automatically
generated backup and log files, before they are sent
off for storage (on a less safe computer).

My suggestion is to add the two options:
-k <key>
-f <ascii-file with key>

Secure (antikeylogger) Input
