The key is in getting the Mercurial with the forest extension installed--I had 0.9.5, which didn't, and I couldn't figure out where to get it or how to install it; I eventually ended up getting the "Batteries Included" installer, and it appeared there. (But only in one of the four .exe's that are up on Sourceforge. :-/ )
I pulled the bits down, so will try the build tonight.... By the way, Daniel, how did you download the forest extension? The Mercurial wiki didn't have a good download link that I could find--the only link I saw took me off to a changeset/revisions page....?
