I wouldn't mind making it more like what we do with plackup and having a single Ruby script, eventually.

I just split out the check and started modelling things after the code for plackup. Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck getting gitweb.cgi to respect $GITWEB_CONFIG environment with webrick so the following patch just ensures webrick is properly started, not useful.
Unfortunately I'm barely awake now, but I'll revisit this in ~16 hours if nobody beats me to it.
