Actually GNU Source Highlight (http://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite) as it is now wouldn't be a good fit for gitweb, because it lacks equivalent of Highlight '--fragment' option; even with '--no-doc' it prefixes contents with some comments and wraps the whole with 

tags.

On the other hand side one can also use Perl modules from CPAN for
syntax highlighting.  It would be nice to have this option for syntax
highlighting in gitweb.
