You'll only need asciidoc and xmlto if you do 'make install' -- if you
do 'make local' instead and simply symlink the 'hg' script into your
PATH, then you'll get a nice self-contained Mercurial install without
having to mess with building the documentation. You can view the man
pages online:

  http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hgrc.5.html

The next version of Mercurial wont use asciidoc and xmlto. Instead we're
going to use Docutils, specifically the rst2html and rst2man tools.
