killdaemons: explicitly set the ctypes signatures When I tried importing util.posixfile to work around removing a file opened by another process on Windows, it brought along the declarations in win32.py, which broke the error handling[1]. It doesn't seem worth hacking killdaemons[2] just to isolate these declarations in win32.py, so just declare them here to prevent any future issues. (win32.py mentions the declarations are required by pypy.)

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
