The hg file (mercurials python script in the repo root) needs to be
*renamed* to hg.py (not copied), otherwise the suite (MSYS shell) will
prefer the hg over the hg.exe for most of the calls in the tests, which
works because of the

  #!/usr/bin/env python

on the first line of the hg file (after all, python is in on PATH and
there is a env.exe in C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin, which is on PATH as well).
