Doing a (one-way) conversion from svn to hg is straightforward, and I've
setup the appropriate mapping from usernames to people. So I can
lock-down svn and create the "official" hg starting-point whenever we're

In the meantime, I'm looking into "advanced" CTest scripting as a way to
incorporate hg into dashboard submission.
