Here is a modified version of Tino's patch which uses comint.el and does
the above.  Another difference is that we call
term-watch-for-password-prompt on the decoded-substring (I believe
that's required to match localized non-ASCII prompts correctly).

I wasn't able to reproduce the problems described in #74 with any
version of the patch (maybe it's dependent on timing?), so I'm not sure
how much of a concern that is.
