Runtime gitweb configuration
----------------------------
You can adjust gitweb behaviour using the file specified in `GITWEB_CONFIG`
-(defaults to 'gitweb_config.perl' in the same directory as the CGI).

The most notable thing that is not configurable at compile time are the
optional features, stored in the '%features' variable.
