Can you summarize what are the differences between the two extensions?  Even 
better, is there a wiki page that does so?  Is it mainly the elide-simple 
option or is there more to it?

On http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/DotLogExtension I got 
reminded that you posted it in response to the thread I started in April, and 
I forgot to list it in my recent post here.

So, let me summarize the list of tools again (only stand-alone tools, not 
including trac etc.):
- http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/GraphlogExtension
- http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/HgkExtension (aka "hg view")
- http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/GraphvizExtension
  (use in conjunction with .dot viewers as listed on http://graphviz.org/,
  e.g. http://zvtm.sourceforge.net/zgrviewer.html)
- http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/DotLogExtension
  (+ .dot viewers, see above)
- hgtk (see TortoiseHG/contrib) http://tortoisehg.wiki.sourceforge.net/hgtk

Someone could make a Wiki page out of this list, and possibly include web 
frontends, i.e.
- trac
- the revision graph included in hgwebdir.cgi 
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/BranchView
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/PublishingRepositories
- Benjamin Smedberg's mozilla browser graph hack:
