Hehe... :-) Anyway -- that would be because 'make local' calls the build
subcommands directly instead of calling build. I've sent a tiny patch.

As for Python module imports, then I believe the code does the same
imports as before.

The difference is that the code now loads a 26 KiB hg.mo file and parses
it into a GNUTranslations class instead of a NullTranslations class.
This involves a lot more work... and most of it is sadly wasted when we
only ever use a couple of the strings in a given invocation.

Maybe we could find a better format to save the translations in?
