Source of excanvas.js

Hi mercurial-devel,

Mercurial ships with mercurial/templates/static/excanvas.js, which is
a minified ("compiled") javascript file.  It was introduced in
0dba955c2636 (add graph page to hgweb) by Dirkjan (CCed).

Some distributions are a bit picky and consider this to be similar to
binary code: it was compiled by a program and computers can execute it
but humans need the source code to understand what it does.  As the
commit message doesn't state the origin of the file, I googled around
and found explorecanvas[0], which seems to do the same thing and it's
called excanvas as well.  However, the code in the mercurial
repository doesn't match the code in the excanvas repository or any of
the previous versions.

Does anybody know where this file comes from?  Shall this be replaced
with the current version of explorercanvas?

Cheers,
Javi
