Summary: hgproc.bat not executable without "installer"

Initial Comment:
Installing TortoiseHG from source "has an issue" :)
Simply cloning the hg repository and executing 
"python tortoisehg.py --debug" 
does not correctly install a functioning system. Context menu items do not 
display, and cannot be used.

hggtk\tracelog.py reveals a "permission denied" error on hgproc.bat.

It turns out that hgproc.bat is not given executable permissions when 
downloaded.

Manually setting the security permissions from windows solves the problem. This 
problem does not appear when TortoiseHg is installed via the installer.

The setup procedure should check the permissions on the .bat file and set them 
correctly.

Since you are installing from source, I presumed that you've read the
installation page at TortoiseHg homepage on SF. Per the installation guide,
you _must_ restart Windows/Explorer after doing 'python tortoisehg.py
--debug'.

What kind of permission are you referring to on hgproc.bat? AFAIK, Windows
pick up the .bat files as being 'executable' per the PATHEXT env setting.

I am not sure why hggtk\tracelog.py would give "permission denied" on
hgproc.bat. Can you please post the messages captured on tracelog?
