Thanks, but I have already seen similar examples on
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/PublishingRepositories
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/HgWebDirStepByStep
and tried them without success.

The problem seems to be that the .cgi script does not even have read access to 
the directory it lives in; our administrator sent me this snippet from the 
server logs:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".../hgwebdir.cgi", line 49, in ?
    print file('hgweb.config').read()
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'hgweb.config'
Premature end of script headers: hgwebdir.cgi

(As you can see, this is from my own debugging code.)  Obviously, Mercurial 
catches all IOErrors (probably to cope with missing config files) and thus 
hides this internal error?
