using hg-development version without installation

I think you can install it in ~ (I prefer ~/install or something), or
you can even use it without installing. You have to point your $PATH
and $PYTHONPATH to the install location or to the location where the
sources are (there you have the hg script and the python modules).

Hope this helps, Roman
