Ah yes, I remember the discussion about that.
Sebastian, could you include a matching gitweb.cgi into your 
Debian-Package?

And what about something like:

if (-e '/etc/gitweb.conf') { requite '/etc/gitweb.conf'; }

after the variable settings? The included file would then set 
$projectroot and friends to the local values so that I don't have to 
patch gitweb everytime I upgrade it. Since perl has no plain "include" 
and the require doesn't really work for me (it seems to include the 
file, but the variables stay the same), I leave it up to you (I would 
have been so proud to provide you a patch, but obviously my perl 
knowledge is worse than I thought).

Thanks for pointing that out. I had the impression, on ehlo.org is only 
a installed version, not a downloadable one.
