Point hgsubversion to self-compiled subvertpy? (Windows)

I assumed it was in more common use... The mercurial documentation I read itself seemed to recommend subvertpy over swig-python (even though of course those are the official SVN bindings), so I put the effort into doing it manually in lieu of having a good binary package in PyPI. I've compiled subvertpy for Python 32-bit bindings successfully on Windows 7 with Visual Studio 2008.

Now I need to specifically recompile everything for a 64-bit Python environment on Windows, since one repository I'm working with is exhausting memory at ~1GB working memory. I know 32-bit apps can grow up to 3-4GB on Linux before hitting OOM but apparently on Win32 memory address space is much more limited.

At any rate I finally built the entire stack of svn, bindings, and subvertpy from scratch for 64-bit on Windows, but for some reason I can't get hgsubversion to detect it.

Not sure how I'm botching the installation, since the last step is to just run setup.py and let distutils take care of it.

I know it sounds like amateur hour here, any pointers much appreciated.
