Prepare gitweb for having been split into modules that are to be installed alongside gitweb in 'lib/' subdirectory, by adding

  use lib __DIR__.'/lib';

to gitweb.perl (to main gitweb script), and preparing for putting modules (relative path) in $(GITWEB_MODULES) in gitweb/Makefile.

This version uses shell 'for' loop, instead of make's $(foreach) function, to avoid possible problem with generating a command line that exceeded the maximum argument list length. This solution has also advantage of being more readable than original $(foreach ...) version, with its overly long lines.

This idea is based on discussion surrounding Brandon Casey's patch.
In particular Bruce Stephens's suggestion was implemented to solve
issue of empty $(GITWEB_MODULES) variable (which is in this patch),
as implemented in
  [PATCH 2/2 v2] Makefile: work around ksh's failure to handle missing list argument to for loop
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/147796/focus=150413

This version also moves installing modules to separate install-modules target, as compared to previous version.

It also contains improvement from Pavan Kumar Sunkara, namely that target is a directory, rather than destibation filename. This might be not necessary (and not much of an improvement).
