packaging: dynamically define make targets We currently have make boilerplate for each instance of a distro's release. This is redundant, annoying to maintain, and prone to errors. This commit defines variables holding available releases for various distros. We then iterate through the list and dynamically define make targets.

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.
