I get the sense you are just being contrarian, rather than seeing how
to do this reasonably:

You DO NOT distribute ipython, and yet that is recognized.

Offer to use a SCM if it's installed - encourage it;  let the source
code detect it (which is better than trying to build merge / version /
rollback yourself into the code anyway).

Start with "if hg exists";  add perhaps bzr and git later (or let
others).  The point is to enable this (not find all the ways possible
to NOT do this!)
