Note that the rename is admittedly ugly and simply there to make
exemaker happy. Hackable uses exemaker to get behavior more like
our /usr/bin/hg behavior without the py2exe (need rebuild after edit)
and hg.bat (need to 'call' from cmd scripts, starts subprocess)
drawbacks.

But we have already forked exemaker:

..so we can easily teach it to not need a .py file too.
