hgbuildbot needs to learn sendchange authentication

[dustin]

This should be a simple matter of adding some parameters to the class. Currently it uses the default auth ('change'/'changepw').

mjw, is this something you can work on, or just an interest? We don't have a current Mercurial maintainer.

Yes, I'll try and make it work and attach a patch if I succeed. I am currently setting up a buildbot for the IcedTea? project which uses Mercurial for all source repositories.

Testing the following patch:

It works for me. I'll try and clean it up and add some documentation for a real patch submission.
