Would the following patch be OK for recognizing Mercurial in the
build-aux/bootstrap script? It seems to work for me. Maybe there is
a better way of recognizing that a file is tracked, but I'm not sure
what it is. Unfortunately, "hg status FILE" exits with a status of 0
even when FILE does not exist.
