In troubleshooting something with dbmmanage, I came across this:

I'm sure there's more context here that I haven't unearthed yet, but
does anyone (Joe?) happen to remember what the comment "zombie
dbmmanage" means here? Is dbmmanage deprecated in some way that we
should reflect in the docs?

dbmmanage has some functionality that is lacking in htdbm - in
particular, the ability to import a plain text htpasswd style password
file. However, the script httxt2dbm fills that need, which is presumably
(usually) a one-time thing, rather than ongoing maintenance, so that's ok.
