This is a replacement. webrev, being a shell script, is very hard to 
maintain, extend and make work across various platforms.
So the main motivation behind jHg was to rewrite it in Java. I figured I 
might as well add a few bells an whistles to make it more useful.

Actually, I've split the project in two:
- jMercurial is a library of classes to manipulate a mercurial 
workspace. It relies on the 'hg' command to manipulate the workspace, 
but it is a fairly complete abstraction of all the components of a 
workspace (Changeset, Tag, Change, etc...).
- jHg uses jMercurial.

So far it has been tested on Solaris, Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.
