So what would you like to see?

1. Hardening parsing of ctags files, so that gitweb does not crash on
   malformed entries, but e.g. just ignores them.

2. Generating tag cloud upfront, before sending any output to browser,
   to catch error better (and perhaps separate CSS for HTML::TagCloud).

3. Describe format of ctags files, either in comments in code, or in
   gitweb/README.

4. Either:

   A. Remove editing ctags from gitweb, or
   B. Add some simple generation of ctags file to gitweb

or should we remove ctags feature altogether?
