First, I'd like to have existing t9500-gitweb-standalone-no-errors.sh
be about Perl errors and warning only, as it is now.  Anything outside
this should IMVHO be put in separate test.

Second, for checking whether gitweb handles non US-ASCII input correctly
we don't need HTML scrapping or parsing.  We can simply check if we have
correct string in output... and (after Zoltán Füzesi example) that we
don't have incorrect one.  For example if we have 'xxxóxxx' in input,
then there is 'xxxóxxx' in output, and that all match againts 'xxx.xxx'
matches 'xxxóxxx'.
