[PATCH] Fix the path problem on Windows that prevents to run hg from its own repository

[Giuseppe Bilotta]

The attached patch solves the path problem that prevents to run hg
from its own repository. Under Windows, under normal circumstances,
the current path is searched before the site-lib path. Therefore, when
running a properly-installed hg from a repository containing a
directory named 'mercurial', hg will fail in various way. The solution
is to move the current path to the end of the module look-up path.
This is only done if the current path is present already.

(Patch inline and attached because I'm not sure attaching works
properly.)
