+Plan: do away with shell scripts, and un-hard-wire the path /usr/local/lib/mercurial-server.
+
+Steps:
+
+- move all modules into mercurial_server directory
+- make mercurial_server.paths module; a function sets a global based on sys.argv[0]
+- reduce hg-ssh-wrapper to nothing by moving all functionality into hg-ssh
+- same for refresh-auth
+- move most of do-refresh-auth into a module
+- give that module a hook, and call the hook instead of the exe
+- abolish refresh-auth shell script and rename do-refresh-auth to refresh-auth
+- replace env vars with Python globals
+- change refresh-auth to refer to hg-ssh directly, abolish hg-ssh-wrapper
+- add comment check and -f flag to refresh-auth
+- change install script to a Python script, abolishing hginit
