I suppose, but most htpasswd files don't have this available by default.
There might need to be another mapping.

That sounds, er dangerous.  But I'll implement it if we can come
up with a reasonable spec.

AFAIK, crypt can already handle md5 encryptions.  I'm not sure about
sha encryptions, though.  At any rate, in writing authuser I had some
ideas for wrapping functions but getting the hooks in place can be a
bit nasty (it's related to the same problem that requires $AuthUser to
be set before the include statement).
