Not right now.  I'm taking a break after the refactoring the other
day.  (And thanks for pushing that!)

I'm with Martin on this one.  I have never understood how --with-hg
was supposed to work.  I assumed "cd tests && ./run-tests
--with-hg=.." was what I wanted, but I was wrong.  I think "cd tests
&& ./run-tests --with-hg=../hg" makes total sense.  Or Martin's
"--with-hg=~/bin/hg" -- that makes sense too.
