With the mac ports version of mercurial (wasn't I just complaining about
another mac ports problems yesterday? ;-) ) the path to python in the mercurial
launcher has is
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python
Note the capital "P" which is what was running afoul of the hgforest.sh
detection. The following patch uses a different technique for checking the
python executable.

PS:- I assume that the make/scripts/hgforest.sh is going away at some point?
