OT (Maybe): Scripting an htdigest Entry

I'm writing a script that will provide HTTP access to
several sites.
Each site will be governed by its own htdigest file.  I'd
like for the
script to create and populate an initial user (admin) that
is ready to
go immediately, but there doesn't appear to be a way to
script that
since the htdigest command offers no password flag.

Is there another way to populate this file from a bash
script?

Thanks.
