It might interest you to know that hgwebdir will let you provide a
partial path, showing only repositories under that path. So if your
hgwebdir root is http://host/hg, then http://host/hg/d1 will show only
the two d2 repos above.

Take a closer look at the distributed hgweb.cgi:

from mercurial.hgweb.hgweb_mod import hgweb
import mercurial.hgweb.wsgicgi as wsgicgi

application = hgweb("/path/to/repo", "repository name")
wsgicgi.launch(application)
