Update windows contrib script for current TortoiseHg version (2.6.2).

TortoiseHg 2.6.2 is packaged with Python 2.7.3 (and not 2.6.x), and now
includes some of the libraries that this script previously needed to copy into
place.

markdown2 README
================

This is a fast and complete Python implementation of Markdown, a text-to-html
markup system as defined here:

    http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax


Install
-------

To install it in your Python installation run:

    python setup.py install

However, everything you need to run this is in "lib/markdown2.py". If it is
easier for you, you can just copy that file to somewhere on your PythonPath
(to use as a module) or executable path (to use as a script).


Quick Usage
-----------

As a module:

    >>> import markdown2
    >>> markdown2.markdown("*boo!*")  # or use `html = markdown_path(PATH)`
    u'<p><em>boo!</em></p>\n'

    >>> markdowner = Markdown()
    >>> markdowner.convert("*boo!*")
    u'<p><em>boo!</em></p>\n'
    >>> markdowner.convert("**boom!**")
    u'<p><strong>boom!</strong></p>\n'

As a script:

    $ python markdown2.py foo.txt > foo.html

See the project pages, "lib/markdown2.py" docstrings and/or 
`python markdown2.py --help` for more details.


Project
-------

The python-markdown2 project lives here (subversion repo, issue tracker,
wiki):

    http://code.google.com/p/python-markdown2/

To checkout the full sources:

    svn checkout http://python-markdown2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ python-markdown2

To report a bug:

License
-------

This project is licensed under the MIT License. 

Note that in the subversion repository there are a few files (for the test
suite and performance metrics) that are under different licenses. These files
are *not* included in source packages. See LICENSE.txt for details.


Test Suite
----------

This markdown implementation passes a fairly extensive test suite. To run it:

    cd test && python test.py

If you have the [mk](http://svn.openkomodo.com/openkomodo/browse/mk/trunk)
tool installed you can run the test suite with all available Python versions
by running:

    mk test

The crux of the test suite is a number of "cases" directories -- each with a
set of matching .text (input) and .html (expected output) files. These are:

    tm-cases/                   Tests authored for python-markdown2
    markdowntest-cases/         Tests from the 3rd-party MarkdownTest package
    php-markdown-cases/         Tests from the 3rd-party MDTest package
    php-markdown-extra-cases/   Tests also from MDTest package
