database password encryption on configure.php files

I read this post from the archives that says passwords in the configure.php files are not encrypted. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17525

However, when if you install via Fantastico and then take a look at the configure.php files, it appears to be encrypted.
If I do a manual installation, the password does not appear encrypted.

So, my question is, if it's possible to have an encrypted password there, how do you get that?
I think I like it more when it says something like
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'XyiflL9We1aFe2FbN');
than something like:
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'passwordhere');
