make --style=compact look for map-cmdline.compact. change name of key in map file from changelog to changeset. rename command map files to start with map-cmdline. rename ui.logmap to ui.style in hgrc. now --style=foo does this: tries to open foo as file. tries as map-cmdline.foo in template path. tries as foo in template path.
