Nice! I think it would be good if you could include the latest tag and
the distance to the tag in the file name, just like setup.py does it:

    cmd = [sys.executable, 'hg', 'id', '-i', '-t']
    l = runcmd(cmd, env).split()
    while len(l) > 1 and l[-1][0].isalpha(): # remove non-numbered tags
        l.pop()
    if len(l) > 1: # tag found
        version = l[-1]
    elif len(l) == 1: # no tag found
        cmd = [sys.executable, 'hg', 'parents', '--template',
               '{latesttag}+{latesttagdistance}-']
        version = runcmd(cmd, env) + l[0]

Thanks for announcing it -- it seemed everybody used Macs at the Paris
sprint, so I'm sure someone here can help you. Heck, even I have a Mac
now (because of work) but it will take some time before I'm comfortable
building anything on it.
