Have you given bozohttpd a look-in?  It's what I use (though I daresay
opinions are divided on whether that's a positive or negative :).  You
need to build with -DDO_HTPASSWD to get (2), at least according to the
manpage (that's not a feature I want, so I haven't tried it myself),
but other than that I _think_ it has everything you want.
