mpm pushed this to the main repo.

When trying to use this, I encountered the following small problems:

First I used "hg serve --prefix foo" (with and without
--webdir-conf), which looked ok on the first page, but all links
pointed to pages that give errors.
Using "--prefix /foo" helped, but this needs to be more robust.

Then I used "hg serve --prefix /foo -v", which printed
"listening at http://thehostname:8000/" ... maybe it should append
the prefix here?

Finally it would be nice to have an automatic test for this.
