htpasswd with empty password

Hi KP

I guess it is possible to check against an empty password using the new
htpasswd executable, at leat the one from the apache2 works as specified

mega@leafbuilder64:~/leaf/devel/bering-uclibc/repo/webconf/var/webconf/www$
htpasswd -vb .htpasswd admin ""
Password for user admin correct.
mega@leafbuilder64:~/leaf/devel/bering-uclibc/repo/webconf/var/webconf/www$
echo $?
0
mega@leafbuilder64:~/leaf/devel/bering-uclibc/repo/webconf/var/webconf/www$
htpasswd -vb .htpasswd admin fddddlll
password verification failed
mega@leafbuilder64:~/leaf/devel/bering-uclibc/repo/webconf/var/webconf/www$
echo $?
3

So we can distribute a .htpasswd file with an empty password and still
check it and react accordingly. Will need to check this with the
htpasswd binary on LEAF and possibly with pwcrypt too.

cheers
