I got a working hg.exe in build/temp.win-amd64-2.7/Release with (in
setup.py):


class buildhgexe(build_ext):
    description = 'compile hg.exe from hg.c'

    def build_extensions(self):
        objects = self.compiler.compile(['hg.c'],
                                         output_dir=self.build_temp)
        self.compiler.link_executable(objects, 'hg',
                                      output_dir=self.build_temp)


Relevant output seen in terminal:

So I think I might be pretty close.
