You mean that the links in this pre-generated HTML would be to CGI
pages?

By the way, thanks to Martin Waitz it is much easier to install gitweb.
I for example use the following script to test changes I have made to gitweb:
-- >8 --
#!/bin/bash
BINDIR="/home/local/git"
function make_gitweb()
{
pushd "/home/jnareb/git/"
make GITWEB_PROJECTROOT="/home/local/scm" \
GITWEB_CSS="/gitweb/gitweb.css" \
GITWEB_LOGO="/gitweb/git-logo.png" \
GITWEB_FAVICON="/gitweb/git-favicon.png" \
bindir=$BINDIR \
gitweb/gitweb.cgi
popd
}
function copy_gitweb()
{
cp -fv /home/jnareb/git/gitweb/gitweb.{cgi,css} /home/local/gitweb/
}
make_gitweb
copy_gitweb
# end of gitweb-update.sh

Gitweb can generate this file. The problem is that one would have to
temporary turn off using index file. This can be done by having the
following gitweb_list_projects.perl file:
-- >8 --
#!/usr/bin/perl
$projects_list = "";
-- >8 --
then use the following invocation to generate project index file:
$ GATEWAY_INTERFACE="CGI/1.1" HTTP_ACCEPT="*/*" REQUEST_METHOD="GET" \
GITWEB_CONFIG=gitweb_list_projects.perl QUERY_STRING="a=project_index" \
gitweb.cgi
