qclone is used to clone a repository and its related patch queue repository. Here, crew-stable-w32.mq is a standalone patch queue repository, so you would just use "hg clone http://hg.intevation.org/beta/mercurial/pmezard/crew-stable-w32.mq/" and put it in you crew-stable clone as .hg/patches (to use it as a normal patch queue).

Then just:

$ hg qpush -a

All patches should apply clean (I say should because I am lagging a little these days to update the patch queues, but crew-stable is stable enough that it should not matter). If it does not, move in .hg/patches and "hg tip". The changelog message lists the last mercurial revision the patch queue was applied on. At least you will have a working setup.

As you guessed, the "use_pysh" patch modifies run-tests.py to run shell scripts under windows.

Also, testhg.py is no longer used (and was removed from pysh). I will update the wiki ASAP.

Thank you for trying this, please keep posting about other issues you may have.
