hg-scm.com spammed. Is it ours?

I see traces of hg-scm.com and hg-scm.net in my Dreamhost control panel.
That is, we used to have these domains registered, but I let them expire
since we weren't really using them. I guess a spammer picked up the .com
domain after that.

The hg-scm.org domain is still registered by me. The nameservers for
that domain are ns{1..5}.gratisdns.org. I believe it was Jesper who
managed those a long time ago.

The DNS records seem current, but maybe I should reconfigure it so that
we redirect people to mercurial.selenic.com instead? That would probably
cause the least amount of confusion for people and search engines alike.

We should update

  http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ProjectInfrastructure

after that.
