Ah! I've reattached it.

Wonderful. No, I doubt it's still applicable, since it is quite
a grossly basic fix against the stable release, cvsweb-2.0.6--
which I perhaps foolishly had opted for since I was just setting 
up a  service and didn't want to get embroiled in tracking 
development for yet another utility... :)

Are the betas roughly stable? I'm sure the escaping fixes are 
grossly superior to this hack, but I also don't want to be 
hitting 500's left and right.
