Re: [PATCH 1/4] Makefile: extract perl-related rules to make them available from other dirs

Matthieu Moy [off-list ref] writes:

The final goal is to make it easy to write Git commands in perl in the
contrib/ directory. It is currently possible to do so, but without the
benefits of Git's Makefile: adapt first line with $(PERL_PATH),
hardcode the path to Git.pm, ...

We make the perl-related part of the Makefile available from directories
other than the toplevel so that:

* Developers can include it, to avoid code duplication

* Users can get a consistent behavior of "make install"

The goal may be worthy, but the split does not look quite right.

What business do contrib/ scripts have knowing how gitweb and
git-instaweb are built and what they depend on, for example?
