setup: properly install build_hgextindex for py2exe builds Because the hgbuild class has a private copy of build.sub_commands, modifying build.sub_commands from this code effectively resulted in a no-op. Registering the sub-command on hgbuild actually results in the sub-command running when building Mercurial. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6093

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.
