MACRO EXPANSION
---------------
The following cgitrc options supports a simple macro expansion feature,
where tokens prefixed with "$" are replaced with the value of a similary
named environment variable:
- cache-root
- include
- project-list
- scan-path
Macro expansion will also happen on the content of $CGIT_CONFIG, if
defined.
One usage of this feature is virtual hosting, which in its simplest form
can be accomplished by adding the following line to /etc/cgitrc:
include=/etc/cgitrc.d/$HTTP_HOST
