I'm not sure you need this feature.  Have you tried configuring
'[collections]'.  E.g. I have configured http://vc.gerg.ca/hg/ with a
two-line hgweb.config:

[collections]
/home/hg = /home/hg

...meaning "export all the hg repos in /home/hg via hgwebdir.cgi".
Works perfectly.  If you want hgweb.config to be location-neutral,
maybe this would work:

[collections]
. = .

?
