Hmm, that's not good. When I originally wrote that code, the intention
was that the ini file would go somewhere sensible, and I don't think
that the python install directory counts :-(

I think that a "hg info" would be good and useful if it were put
together as "hg debuginfo" (i.e. hidden from normal visibility), but
should not replace "paths" or "version".
