*sniff* Looks like today is once more a manic Monday. I was not so lucky
with running the tests on windows. If you wanna know more, read on,
otherwise stop here and know that I'll try again later.

Cheers

PS:

$ python run-tests.py
running build_ext
building 'mercurial.base85' extension
warning: hgbuildmo: could not find msgfmt executable, no translations will
be built
error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

To get vcvarsall.bat I ran:

$ setup.py install build --compiler=mingw32

..which led to several compile errors. I'll retry later by following
