More or less as an aside - this is one, possibly the only, area where
Windows users are better off than the rest - TortoiseHG ships with
"hgfold, perfarce, mercurial-keyring. fixfrozenexts, python-svn for
hgsubversion and convert extensions, and dulwich for hg-git use."
pre-built & installed.  They are switched OFF by default but just need
turning on in the GUI configuration, or adding to the configuration
manually, to start working for both TortoiseHG and for the command line
client.
