setup: copy pythonXY.dll next to the hg.exe wrapper when building This avoids the problem of having the newly built binary complaining that it can't find the DLL. There is an option in the python.org installer to add the python install to PATH (which defaulted to "on" with py2, and therefore was not an issue up to this point), but that makes switching between python versions harder. This shouldn't be an issue with the PyOxidizer binary, but that current has issues running some of the tests, and took noticeably longer to build last time I tried it.

This directory is meant to cache artifacts useful for tests (such as bundle).

Those artifacts need to be cached because they are slow to regenerate on each
test but too large to be tracked within the repository. They are not expected
to change between each run and can be cached.

The `./scripts/` contains code to generate the artifact while the `cache`
directory contains resulting artifact.
