PJE: Thanks again. That's a huge help. I don't think I would have ever
figured out all of those hooks by myself.

One problem I found was that even with that code, the tag_build wasn't
getting set in setup.cfg, so I added another line to set the
egg_info.tag_build in the monkey-patched egg_info.tagged_version. After
that, it seems to work exactly as prescribed.

It's in hgtools 0.4, so feel free to give it a go. As you prescribed, set
use_hg_version=True and setup_requires hgtools>=0.4 and you'll get versions
automatically calculated based on your tags.

Regards,
Jason
