Re: cgit about-filter in chroot (httpd + slowcgi)

>>> $ cat <<EOF > my-cgit-filter.c
>>> #include <unistd.h>

>>> main(void)

>>> $ cc my-cgit-filter.c -o my-cgit-filter.c -static

Instead of downloading, recompiling, and installing lowdown; then
building and installing a program that execs the downloaded lowdown; why
don't you cut out the first step and call through to the C API installed
with the lowdown port? There's a full example in the EXAMPLES section
of lowdown_file(3).
