I posted about this on the devel list a while ago, but what about  
loading extensions on the index without loading each repository? I  
have an extension that I'd like to use to change the contact,  
description, etc. fields on the index.

djc mentioned some possible solutions here, but the scope of the issue  
seems greater than just extension loading itself: http://www.selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2009-January/010084.html
