Running WebDav and svnserve simulatenously

Hi, I am trying/hoping to provide access to my users via webdev-apache2 and
svnserve at the same time. The problem I seem to have is that the WebDav
password file is created using the htpasswd command that encrypts passwords.
The svnserve passwd file format is a follows:
[users]
<username>=<clear text password>
 
The format change isn't that much of a problem. I can replicate from one
file to another via a python script or perl command line, but the clear text
issue is a bit of a problem.
 
Have any of you run up against this one and found a solution?
