stallion/hg is what we're using.  it's version 1.7.5.  we're using it with
bichued/python.

as i see it, the slight staleness of the port is tertiary.  the primary
problem is that python modules tend to assume they're on linux,
and the secondary problem is that the python port is not as complete
as it could be.

it would also be nice for a python port to not depend on
openssl, bz2 or z.
