Actually GNU Source Highlight (http://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite)
as it is now wouldn't be a good fit for gitweb, because it lacks 
equivalent of Highlight '--fragment' option; even with '--no-doc' it
prefixes contents with some comments and wraps the whole with <pre><tt>
tags.

On the other hand side one can also use Perl modules from CPAN for
syntax highlighting.  It would be nice to have this option for syntax
highlighting in gitweb.
