contrib: simplify the genosxversion.py command to find the hg libraries I forget what problem I ran into while trying to teach the makefile to use a non-system python. (It might have ben missing hg-evolve and/or keyring, but `check_output()` was raising an error.) This still isn't great because it will return non zero for something like the username not being set, even though we aren't asking for it. But I suppose it's still useful to simplify.

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
