Add MOTD display to hgweb and hgwebdir.
The hgweb "footer" template now has space for an optional message of
the day (MOTD). This is used in two contexts:
1) On the hgwebdir index page
2) On various pages of each individual repo
For both cases, the MOTD is read out of an entry named "motd" in the
[web] section of a config file -- the only difference is which file is
used. For #1, you need to add the section to hgweb.config; for #2, you
need to add to the repo's .hgrc file.
I suggest something like this:
[web]
motd = <p>To download these repositories, <a href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial">get Mercurial</a> and then type something like:</p><p><pre>hg clone http://gs3080.sp.cs.cmu.edu/hg.cgi/cpmpy</pre></p>You can also click the Download links to get an archive of the latest revision.
An online sample is available here:

#!/usr/bin/env python

# An example CGI script to export multiple hgweb repos, edit as necessary
import cgitb, sys
cgitb.enable()
# sys.path.insert(0, "/path/to/python/lib") # if not a system-wide install
from mercurial import hgweb
# The config file looks like this. You can have paths to individual
# repos, collections of repos in a directory tree, or both.
#
# [paths]
# virtual/path = /real/path
# virtual/path = /real/path
#
# [collections]
# /prefix/to/strip/off = /root/of/tree/full/of/repos
#
# collections example: say directory tree /foo contains repos /foo/bar,
# /foo/quux/baz. Give this config section:
# [collections]
# /foo = /foo
# Then repos will list as bar and quux/baz.
# Alternatively you can pass a list of ('virtual/path', '/real/path') tuples
# or use a dictionary with entries like 'virtual/path': '/real/path'
h = hgweb.hgwebdir("hgweb.config")
h.run()
