Description:
Passphrase removal is currently mandatory for SSL keys.  It would be nice
to have the option to specify the SSL key password on startup and provide it 
via STDIN.

How to repeat:
N/A

Noted in 5.6.3 changelog.

Previously, for MySQL distributions built using OpenSSL, if an SSL
key file supplied to the MySQL server or a MySQL client program 
(using the --ssl-key option) was protected by a passphrase, the
program would prompt the user for the passphrase. This is now also
the case for MySQL distributions built using yaSSL.
