For now, you can write a front-end script by PowerShell or something, that
will do
1. show list of user names
2. run thg --config "ui.username=<selected user>"
(requires TortoiseHg 3.2 or later)

Not bad idea. Maybe it can have a username dialog that will be displayed
if no username is set or "dummy-proof" option is enabled.
