+MACRO EXPANSION
+---------------
+The following cgitrc options supports a simple macro expansion feature,
+where tokens prefixed with "$" are replaced with the value of a similary
+named environment variable:
+
+- cache-root
+- include
+- project-list
+- scan-path
+
+Macro expansion will also happen on the content of $CGIT_CONFIG, if
+defined.
+
+One usage of this feature is virtual hosting, which in its simplest form
+can be accomplished by adding the following line to /etc/cgitrc:
+
+	include=/etc/cgitrc.d/$HTTP_HOST
+
