run-tests: on windows, put correct python at front of PATH

The older approach of trying to copy the python executable into the test
directory was doomed to fail.

There remains one weakness with this approach: if you've run "make local",
tests may pick up the wrong extension DLLs from inside the source tree. I
don't know why this happens.

A reasonable workaround for now is to test either using --local or with
a working directory that does not contain built DLLs.

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 http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
