general/1482: I cannot add a user in an existing password file (fwd)

[Marc Slemko <ma...@znep.com>]

This is OS/2 specific.  It is caused by not having a cp command.  NT will
probably do the same.

The appropriate ifdefs should be added, or htpasswd should be completely
rewritten.

>Description:
It is possible to create a new password file with 
'htpasswd -c test.pwd gerrit' and entering a password twice

When I try to add a user with 'htpasswd test.pwd kris'
he answers 'adding user kris' and gives me the possibility to enter
the password twice

After this he says 'Command cannot be executed a program or as a 
batch program'. This is what one sees if one enters any command he does 
not know. The user is not added.
>How-To-Repeat:
try:
  htpasswd -c test.pwd gerrit         + 2 times password
  htpasswd test.pwd kris              + 2 times password
