You need the modified Python keyring libraries that TortoiseHg ships
with in order for the mercurial_keyring extension to store passwords
properly on Windows (none of the file based fallback mechanisms work
with mercurial-keyring).

These libraries came with TortoiseHg 0.9.3, or you may try to install
them yourself from http://bitbucket.org/sborho/python-keyring-lib
