builds from hg-stable 592c454477c6 archives missing version info

I'll go to the wiki and read how to submit a bug.

That said, I think the problem lies with the assumption on line 100 of
4c030ada58d2's setup.py.  If the ".hg" dir doesn't exist (which it doesn't
for someone just downloading an archive from hg-stable rather than pulling
into a clone) then "mercurial/__version__.py" will never get created and the
build from the downloaded archive gives an unknown version.

It seems that in both the downloaded archive case and the update to an
existing clone, one can run the "hg id -it" from the custom "pure mercurial"
environment that setup.py creates without needing to check whether the ".hg"
dir exists.  Not sure as I don't have enough expertise with mercurial yet.
