packaging: always pass VERSION into Inno invocation The code in the Inno file was a holdover from before we had Python driving execution. With Python in the driver's seat, we can now have it resolve the version string and pass it into Inno, making the code easier to understand for people who aren't packaging gurus.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
