    1. COI ended up figuring out that you can do just that! You don't even need to use a Portable Python package. I managed to put together a portable Mercurial distro for my USB/SFX toolkit. No magic required- all I did was install Mercurial, copy out its folder, uninstall it, cut out some unneeded stuff and *whamo* it works. I've been using it on dozens of Windows machines for the last two months. Since posting, I've also not used AIX at all. Between that and the small annoyances I've had with fossil I've been using Hg entirely.

    2. CO@bialix: You're right- my apologies. wojo read it correctly, so it worked out for me. The first sentence and the bullet points sum it up. I mentioned Mercurial because it's what I've been using. I wrote the question being open to the idea of a portable Mercurial (or Bazaar, git) for Windows. That said, fossil has turned out to be a perfect solution, beyond a portable version of something like Mercurial- single executable, very portable C code, no Python runtime, and a built-in web server. It's compiled out of the box on our older AIXes, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, and Windows. Thanks!

    3. COAlso- If I stick a few random print("hola"); into the perl script before and after the bit where it prints the Markdown interpreted text those do show up- both on the command line when using cmd /c and in VIM. I was able to determine this by adding a long sleep command at the end of .pl file. You can then bring up the console window Vim starts and play with the command line exactly as Vim is running it.
