Hi guys,
I already spent some time on that and I have resolved majority of problems
with split. The blocker for now - which I believe it is possible to resolve
but I haven't found a solution yet - are libexec files - I need to install
filse for py3 into mercurial3 (or in different dir in general) and use those
when using hg3.

Unfortunately, to be able to create everything under one specfile, I had to
create /usr/bin/hg for py2 and /usr/bin/hg3 for py3. In case the hg is required
in both cases, we have to create new component in fedora, otherwise there is
no way to resolve it.

I have very limited time between my two holidays, but I will try to do another
progress and at least attach my latest solution to the BZ so someone can continue
instead of start from the scratch again.

From that point, I could postpone the rebase if needed, but I hope that someone else will be able to help around instead of me in case of troubles.
