[issue924] Cannot install Mercurial on the Mac OS X 10.4

While you're waiting for a solution to the installer problem, you could try
building from source as outlined at
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/MacOSXTools.  You'll need to
have XCode (the Apple developer tools) installed.  If you just want to get
up and running quickly, get to the step where you run './configure' and
follow it with 'make local'.

Good luck,
Kevin Christen
