This is just one of the problems. I described another problem in this

If you do that, please make sure that these tests can be disabled (a la 
svn tests), so that people not being interested in gitweb, or lacking the 
programs to test it, do not have to suffer.

IMHO if such a tool is common enough, you should use it. If anybody steps 
forward providing automated HTTP tests, I will not complain, and certainly 
not about testing with things like HTMLtidy.
