The release build for 3.6.0b3 64-bit is missing Mercurial info:

>>> import sys
>>> sys._mercurial
('CPython', '', '')
>>> sys.version
'3.6.0b3 (default, Nov  1 2016, 03:21:01) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)]'

The debug build and the 32-bit builds are fine. It needs further investigation, but I assume the PGO build is to blame, as we only run PGO on the 64-bit release build.

The same is on 3.5.2 on ubuntu 16.10

We're not responsible for the builds released by Linux distros. There's a good chance they didn't build from mercurial, but used the source release plus patches.

I suspect this is because my PATH was getting too long within my build script because of setting up the VS build environment too many times (if PATH gets too long then new processes may ignore or truncate it).

The commit should cut this down to the point where we don't lose Mercurial off of PATH, but I'm running validation builds to be sure.

As this only applies to the Windows builds and we haven't seen it against 3.5 yet, I'm dropping that from the versions list.

Wasn't fixed as well as I'd like, so I clearly need a better approach here.

Attaching the patch here for visibility.

In short, rather than relying on PATH to find hg.exe, we now precalculate it and pass it in to the build. This completely avoids the problem where modifying PATH multiple times for different builds was causing Mercurial to fall off.

This patch also fixes two other issues with my build script - the PGOOPTS need to come before CERTOPTS, as they are parsed by different scripts, and the debug build command fell off somewhere which resulted in the debug builds not being rebuilt for 3.6.0b4 - they are still the 3.6.0b3 debug build.
