Lame! No excuse!

For Windows, we have frequent "unstable" binary packages of TortoiseHg at

https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg-winbuild/downloads/

These include command line hg as built from default branch tip of the main
mercurial repo. If you see these not being fresh enough, please ping me.
I sometimes build and upload new ones if Steve doesn't.
(I don't really like the name "unstable" for these packages...)

On Linux it's dead simple, really:

adi@ubuntu1:~/tmp$ hg clone http://selenic.com/repo/hg hg-main
requesting all changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 14940 changesets with 29191 changes to 2054 files
updating to branch default
930 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

adi@ubuntu1:~/tmp$ cd hg-main
adi@ubuntu1:~/tmp/hg-main$ make
Commonly used make targets:
  all          - build program and documentation
  install      - install program and man pages to PREFIX (/usr/local)
  install-home - install with setup.py install --home=HOME (/home/adi)
  local        - build for inplace usage
  tests        - run all tests in the automatic test suite
  test-foo     - run only specified tests (e.g. test-merge1)
  dist         - run all tests and create a source tarball in dist/
  clean        - remove files created by other targets
                 (except installed files or dist source tarball)
  update-pot   - update i18n/hg.pot

Example for a system-wide installation under /usr/local:
  make all && su -c "make install" && hg version

Example for a local installation (usable in this directory):
  make local && ./hg version
