setup: import setup from setuptools if FORCE_SETUPTOOLS is set This should allow easier experimentation with using setuptools in mercurial's build automation, without breaking anything that currently depends on distutils behavior

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.
