Speaking of OptionalPackages, I'm going to take another try at Python
soon to see if I can get it to also see the bzip2 that's included with
Haiku. I'm going to have limited time to spend on Haiku related stuff
for the next week or two, but will try to at least get a slightly
better Python build into the mix during that time. That may or may
not help mercurial pass a few more tests.
