[issue799] 0.9.5 not easy_installable

[Pauli Virtanen]

New submission from Pauli Virtanen <pav at iki.fi>:

The present version of Mercurial does not appear to be easy_installable,
traceback attached. Curiously, things work, if I build an .egg out of it, and
easy_install the egg.

$ easy_install -U Mercurial
