I downloaded and examined it; it's just a wrapper for /usr/bin/passwd,
and there doesn't seem an easy way to modify it to use something other
than the system password file.

Maybe replace "/usr/bin/passwd" with htpasswd?

Write your own PHP script -- it couldn't be more than a few dozen lines
of code for a working skeleton.  Or Google "php change password htpasswd".
