[PATCH 0 of 3] Html help in hg serve when docutils is available.

[Erik Zielke]

I have looked into the issue on import cycles, mentioned on irc, but just
had to have a better understanding of imports, so it took some time. I am
still relatively new to Python.

But now I just realised that I can just pass the commandtable as a parameter
to the _helphtml function from help in webcommands. That would be better,
right?
