What is unfortunate about that? Perl is a duct tape/swiss-army-knife
of the internet.  Hacking gitweb to generate PDF's on the fly from
latex documents should be a fairly trivial hack, even if you aren't a
Perl hacker.

See:

http://search.cpan.org/~andrewf/LaTeX-Driver-0.08/lib/LaTeX/Driver.pm

for just one of many Perl modules to interface with with LaTeX.

Good luck.
