+How to configure gitweb for your local system:
+
+You can specify the following configuration variables when building GIT:
+ * GITWEB_SITENAME
+ Shown in the title of all generated pages, defaults to the servers name.
+ * GITWEB_PROJECTROOT
+ The root directory for all projects shown by gitweb.
+ * GITWEB_LIST
+ points to a directory to scan for projects (defaults to project root)
+ or to a file for explicit listing of projects.
+ * GITWEB_HOMETEXT
+ points to an .html file which is included on the gitweb project
+ overview page.
+ * GITWEB_CSS
+ Points to the location where you put gitweb.css on your web server.
+ * GITWEB_LOGO
+ Points to the location where you put git-logo.png on your web server.
+ * GITWEB_CONFIG
+ This file will be loaded using 'require'. If the environment
+ $GITWEB_CONFIG is set when gitweb.cgi is executed the file in the
+ environment variable will be loaded instead of the file
+ specified when gitweb.cgi was created.
