A mercurial repository cloned can be copied as any other windows folder, you only have to copy the entire cloned application folder (that includes controller, model) into your web2py installation "applications" folder (at the same level as the scaffolding welcome app), that will be enough for web2py to recognize the new application and you'll be able to manage it as those installed with .w2p files*. By the way, the new PyConUS talk "Ideas we stole..." covers installing and managing applications from a console and with the administrative interface.
