setup: when possible, build and bundle man pages This makes it so the manual pages are built as part of the Python build, and includes them in any wheel generated. This should make Python wheels a much more useful and complete way of distributing Mercurial binaries. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D9640

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.
