If you want to find *all* the repositories on a computer, it seems to me it would be simpler to do this in the operating system. Just search for '.hg' folders to find all the repositories. If a repository has any paths associated with it they will be in the .hg\hgrc file. Open the file up and look for the [paths] section. In fact, if you only care about repositories that have a source path, skip searching for .hg folders and just do a search for all hgrc files instead.
