Support for the distutils extention 'py2exe' added. Description: - If the py2exe distutils extention is installed this patch allows building standalone exe for windows - example: > python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32 py2exe - The 'out of the box' py2exe is not able to resolve the dependencies due to 'demandload'. A new helper module of scanning the mercurial package has been added. Changed: - setup.py: importing py2exe and sub classing its command class to fetch the build directory and insert the needed includes - packagescan.py: new helper module added, that scans the distutil build directory for modules to be included.

Mercurial's documentation is currently kept in ASCIIDOC format, which
is a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit. It's also
convertible to a variety of other formats including standard UNIX man
page format and HTML.

To do this, you'll need to install ASCIIDOC:

 http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/

To generate the man page:

 asciidoc -d manpage -b docbook hg.1.txt
 xmlto man hg.1.xml

To display:

 groff -mandoc -Tascii hg.1 | more

To create the html page (without stylesheets):

 asciidoc -b html hg.1.txt
