For the record this is absolutely not true at all.
From a previous message from Patrick in this thread I looked at the readme via this URL:

https://bitbucket.org/durin42/hgsubversion/src/f28e0f54a6ef/README

It clearly has an "Installation" section, and that section clearly states:

    If you are unfamiliar with installing Mercurial extensions, please see
    the UsingExtensions_ page in the Mercurial wiki. Look at the example
    for specifying an absolute path near the bottom of the page. You want
    to give the path to the top level of your clone of this repository.

    .. _UsingExtensions: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/UsingExtensions


Your previous mention of confusion about running setup.py or make is unwarranted, the instructions don't say to do that.  They say to follow the standard conventions for Mercurial extensions and go on to tell you exactly what path you should use.  They don't say you have to "build" anything.  Are you suggesting that you followed those instructions and it did not work?
