Hello, world!\n

After upgrade to Stretch, gitweb no longer finds the configuration file
"gitweb_config.perl" in the current directory. However, "man gitweb" still
mentions this as one of the possible locations of the config file (and
indeed a useful one when using multiple instances of gitweb).

It was probably broken by Perl dropping "." from the default search path
for security reasons.

I tried git-2.19.2 from stretch-backports with the same result.
