I'm not going to log RFE's against OpenGrok because I don't want the 
functionality implemented in OpenGrok - IMO  it isn't actually missing 
those features it is a different beast.

What we want is plain and simply the http interface to a Mercurial repo. 
  As is made available by 'hg serv' or the cgi equivalent or possibly 
even using mod_python.  I've logged 5555 (yes that really is the number 
bugster gave me :-)) for this.
