This is something I was using in previous versions of gitweb, though
with the older (pre-592ea41) syntax. (I had applied the older
highlighting patches, and was quite happy to see them merged.)

Before, $GITWEB_CONFIG contained lines like:

  $highlight_type{'\.lisp$'} = 'lisp';

As of 1.7.2, with syntax highlighting merged and refactored (592ea41),
access to the hashes that define syntax highlighting mappings was lost.
Moving the hashes out into the config area lets $GITWEB_CONFIG contain
lines like:

  $highlight_ext{'lisp'} = 'lisp';
  $highlight_basename{'GNUmakefile'} = 'mak'
