mq: use sets instead of lists for speed

The code eventually converts data through sets to ensure unicity:
do it earlier to allow faster __contains__ lookups and avoid
`del l[l.index(x)]` kind of code.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

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

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

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