Yep, take a look at the cvsweb.conf-*bsd files shipped in the cvsweb
tarball, and the "per-cvsroot configuration" commentary in cvsweb.conf
above @CVSrepositories.

So if your @CVSrepositories are as in the above, create a new file
called cvsweb.conf-project1 to the same dir as the main cvsweb.conf and
add project1 specific $long_intro and whatever you like there etc (and
remember to end the file with "1;"), ditto for project2 ->
cvsweb.conf-project2.

Of course, there's more than one way to do it (cvsweb.conf is Perl code
anyway), but I think the per-cvsroot config snippets are a good way to
accomplish what you're looking for.
