util: avoid using hashlib on Python < 2.5 (issue2278) The following patch allows the use of python2.4 with a standalone hashlib rather than assuming that python2.5 is in use when hashlib is imported successfully.

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.
