Some more information:

It has picked up that I have mercurial installed:


[gw56 at ws050 Python-2.7.2_cci]$ cat config.log | grep HG
ac_cv_prog_HAS_HG=found
HAS_HG='found'
HGBRANCH='hg id -b $(srcdir)'
HGTAG='hg id -t $(srcdir)'
HGVERSION='hg id -i $(srcdir)'


however it happens to be rather an old version:


[gw56 at ws050 Python-2.7.2_cci]$ hg --version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 0.9.3)
