multirepo web serving question

I am trying to setup multirepo web serving through apache.  I have  
the script basically setup:
#!/usr/local/bin/python
#
# An example CGI script to export multiple hgweb repos, edit as  
necessary
import cgitb, sys
cgitb.enable()

#sys.path.insert(0, "/path/to/python/lib") # if not a system-wide  
install
from mercurial import hgweb

# The config file looks like this:
# [paths]
# virtual/path = /real/path
# virtual/path = /real/path

# Alternatively you can pass a list of ('virtual/path', '/real/path')  
tuples
# or use a dictionary with entries like 'virtual/path': '/real/path'

h = hgweb.hgwebdir({'hg/mercurial': '/Users/jordan/hg_repos/mercurial'})
h.run()

My questions are:

1) in this setup how do you get the description and contact  
information?  do these need to be in .hg/hgrc?
2) i can get to my page with http://<box>/~<user>, but from there I  
can't get to any of the repos, I just have index.cgi in /Users/<user>/ 
Sites (which is like ~/public_html, but on OS X).  is there something  
special that I am missing on either the hg or the apache side to make  
the links to the repos actually work?
thanks,
Jordan
