import-checker: refactor sys.path prefix check (
issue4129)
This patch refactors the logic in contrib/import-checker.py responsible for
checking the beginnings of the paths in sys.path. In particular, it adds a
variable that defines the set of allowed prefixes.
The primary purpose of this change is to make it easier to add more allowed
prefixes. This will be useful in resolving
issue4129, which involves making
the function list_stdlib_modules() work when run from a virtualenv.
Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
