Wait, that's quite wrong.  What I was forgetting about is the case
where the webmaster does not control the web hosting but just has a
place to drop CGI scripts under ~/public_html/cgi-bin.  In such a case
it would be very convenient that "make install-gitweb" just does the
right thing (including using a private copy of git).

Sorry for the nonsense.
