Log:
Change the default algorithm for htpasswd to MD5 on all platforms.
Crypt
with its 8 character limit is not useful anymore.
I think it is odd that an interface change like this would
be made without discussion on list. What will it break for
existing configs? And if we are going to change the default,
then we might as well change it to something other than MD5,
or at least use extended crypt when available.
