If someone wants a really custom output, the PHP function(s) is the
right thing, to get such a custom output. But the CGI-script could
output some custom text (e.g. how to use the repository or ...), like
e.g. cvsweb does. So if it makes sense, to add a some text, we should
make this text customizable. I will have a look at the current result in
a few days. ATM I'm too busy.

Will this affect the flexibility of the PHP functions?
