Sorry, but you lost me here.  Where is GITWEB_MODULES defined (iow, what
commit is this patch supposed to be applied)?

This is preparatory patch either for Pavan GSoC2010 work on splitting
gitweb and adding committool / admin write capabilities, or for mine
gitweb caching series split into modules (based on J.H. patch for 
git.kernel.org).

So currently $(GITWEB_MODULES) is not defined / empty.

I also suspect that your assignment to "install_dirs" is completely bogus
when the files listed in GITWEB_MODULES span multiple directories.

install_dirs contains _list_ of directories gitweb modules are to be
installed into.  `$(dir NAMES...)' extracts the directory-part of each
file name in NAMES ('./' if there is no '/' in a file name), and
`$(sort LIST)' is used to remove duplicate words in LIST.

It was actually tested that it works for modularized gitweb caching,
in the older form using `$(foreach ...)' rather than current shell
'for' loop.


For example with the following Makefile:

  GITWEB_MODULES += GitwebCache/SimpleFileCache.pm
  GITWEB_MODULES += GitwebCache/Capture.pm
  GITWEB_MODULES += GitwebCache/Capture/SelectFH.pm
  GITWEB_MODULES += Gitweb/Config.pm
  
  all:
  	@echo $(sort $(dir $(GITWEB_MODULES)))

running 'make' results in:

  Gitweb/ GitwebCache/ GitwebCache/Capture/
