It was due to mercurial not being installed on my computer, and only recently 
have I been able to install more software (hence my 5 day delayed reply to 
Armin's email).

My original email was based on the downloaded source for pypy-1.9, the follow 
up email to Armin was based on the bitbucket repository.  I don't know how to 
work mercurial very well but I think `hg log` shows the latest commit was 
55751:906bdd8dc432 made "Thu Jun 21 18:22:48 2012 +0200".

I have tried the developer version (on the main branch?) and reported back on 
my results.  

I am happy to help pypy, and I am now in a position to do so (on the developer 
version), however I would like to note that I have no need for the CLI backend 
and would prefer to not divert energy away from other areas of the project.  
But, to reiterate, I am happy, willing and able, to help where I can.  

Regards
