I did:

$ hg clone <your repo>
$ cd <your repo>
$ hg verify # success
$ hg serve

..and browsed that file just fine with the built-in webserver.

I think you've probably mangled your Mercurial template install as the
following URL works:

http://hg.malikania.fr/cmake-modules/raw-file/c072966dabb0/FindSDL_gfx.cmake

and is simply consulting a different template called 'raw'.

As always, the very first thing you should do with an hgweb problem is
_check your webserver error logs_.
