You can write a "proxy" cgi script, peraps in python, that given a path
in the repository take the file and do keyword substitution then return
the result to the browser. You can call it trasparently like

http://server/proxy.py/path/to/file/in/repository

and guess the path of file in the repository from REQUEST_PATH.
