Right. Actually I use "make install-home", and it all goes into ~/bin  
and ~/lib/python.

But if I'm going to use hg for my Mac projects, it would be nice if I  
could tell people "just download and double-click this installer". But  
I'm reluctant to recommend the existing installer due to its using a  
nonstandard Python.

Well, Lee already has, and I was just suggesting an improvement, or  
perhaps adding an "Install location" option.
