Is it customisable as to where and how it pulls the description information of

Some sort of
background process to run a couple of times a day and update
per-directory equivalents of Whatsnew.txt could work I suppose; any "dir
listing" code will then only need to operate on a small file. Such an
approach "feels" messy though, but might be the only option without a full
db.
Apache has the ability to associate descriptions to filenames for the
directory indexes it can produce (if you don't have an index.html file, and
you allow directory listings to be produced). Look up the "AddDescription"
directive, and such directives can be added to a .htaccess file in each
directory. -spc (And why does it feel messy?)
Only because the same information's essentially being maintained in two places...
