Did I understand correctly that in your initial message you said you
needed an installer to try to resolve a Mercurial issue?  If not,
ignore that whole sentence of mine :)

Otherwise, I meant that you can just copy the mercurial and hgext
directories from <Python2.7 install dir>\Lib\site-packages to <source
tree with your compiled interpreter\Lib\site-packages (or any other
directory in sys.path).  Alternately, you could set the PYTHONPATH
environment variable to <Python2.7 install dir>\Lib\site-packages,
which would add that dir to the start of sys.path.  I did somewhat
misuse 'PYTHONPATH' in my earlier message.
