Oh, lets share these tools.  I use "stow"

You do ./configure --prefix /usr/local/stow/mercury-VERSION

then after make install, you do "cd /usr/local/stow/; stow mercury-VERSION"
and it symlinks it into /usr/local.  So I keep many Mercurys around in
/usr/local/stow and some other tools and use stow to choose a default one or
override my PATH is some project needs a specific version.
