inno: stop shipping pywin32 Ancient versions of Mercurial relied on pywin32 and I suspect that's why we have this dependency. We also ship the "keyring" package, which has a dependency on "pywin32-ctypes" (providing the "win32ctypes" package). This is a stripped down version of pywin32 that doesn't have as many dependencies. Since we don't have a dependency on pywin32 and since pywin32 is a bit annoying to package, let's get rid of it. With this change, py2exe no longers picks up DLL dependencies on various UCRT DLLs (because we no longer have a .pyd file beloning to pywin32 which was pulling them in). So, we were able to remove code in support of the UCRT DLLs. .. bc:: The Windows Inno installers no longer ship the pywin32 package. This package was being bundled for historical reasons. Mercurial stopped using pywin32 several years ago and the disappearance of this package should not have any meaningful impact. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6067

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.
