Oh, duh, it just occurred to me that since Mercurial is written in python, we
can use an in-process hook and bypass the shell+parsing step entirely.
Something which could be used like this:

[hooks]
commit.buildbot = python:buildbot.changes.hghook.hghook

buildbot/changes/hghook.py:

def hghook(ui, repo, **args):
    # not sure what else goes here



I've created ticket #50 to track this one.

cheers,
