version number breakage again

[timeless]

so i hit this a lot recently on konigsberg.

in my case making clean in ~/hg-crew didn't help, nor did doing make local.

i finally tracked down the culprit:

[timeless at konigsberg hg-crew]$ echo $PYTHONPATH
/home/timeless/lib/python/:/home/timeless/lib/python2.4/site-packages/
[timeless at konigsberg ~]$ less lib/python/mercurial/__version__.py
# this file is autogenerated by setup.py
version = "1.5.4"

this file was being used by make local. once i deleted the file, make
local started working.
