yeah.. the reason is apparently that win32 is documented to allow clear-text
passwords for authentication.  this was news to me, but I'm new to win32
httpd land.  so really what I thought was a bug is desirable.  well, not
desirable really, but required for legacy reasons.  and since there is no
real way to tell that crypt() generated text is crypt() generated, adding
fcrypt() to APR really doesn't solve the underlying problem - supporting
both on win32 would mean that two passwords would be valid for every one
entry in .htpasswd.
