mergetools: add BeyondCompare 4 for Windows This is a copy of the TortoiseHg configuration, but dropping the 3-way diff and dirdiff settings (since those aren't supported in core Mercurial), and swapping the 'parent1', 'parent2', and 'base' literals for `$labellocal`, `$labelother, and `$labelbase` respectively. (That functionality was apparently never ported to TortoiseHg.) Additionally, the single quotes were removed from around these arguments, since none of the other configs have them.

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.
