Hmm, is the /etc/mime.types file missing or somehow strange on that
host? When I do "git instaweb" on my laptop in a clone of the repository
and navigate to that index.html, it renders fine.

However, none of the links work. They contain relative links like
"../../backend/bootstrap", which doesn't work with the more complicated
URL scheme that gitweb uses.

How about we move this page to the wiki? It'd be more likely to get
updated there too.
