Problems:
1. The hgk.py script is included by default when mercurial is installed
but does not work unless the Tcl/TK script is also installed. This
isn't a problem when installing by hand as the installation of hgk using
install is not difficult. However, if mercurial is installed using an
rpm generated using contrib/mercurial.spec (e.g. doing "yum install
mercurial" on a Fedora system) it is a problem as the hgk script is not
available to install separately (without a lot of bother).
2. The documentation describes the very useful script convert-repo but
this is also not included in the rpm.
Solution:
Modify contrib/mercurial.spec to include these scripts in the installation.
The attached patch (against version 0.9.3) accomplishes this.

PS The "Version" field (line 3) should be updated for each released
version (needs to match the version in the *tar.gz file) in order for
rpmbuild to build the package properly.
