I did some comparisons but the htpasswd.c in thttpd is so old that it doesn't
resemble any of the code in the Apache versions I have around.

There's one comment in the thttpd htpasswd.c that concerns me:

/* Modified 29aug97 by Jef Poskanzer to accept new password on stdin,
** if stdin is a pipe or file.  This is necessary for use from CGI.

I don't know that the Apache htpasswd.c supports this; if not, it would have to
be hacked back in.

I'll attach the current Apache htpasswd.c.
