configure: do not require hg when configuring in an hg clone

When configuring in an hg clone, we need hg to compute the version string.
It can happen that users do not have Mercurial (eg. if they got a snapshot
rather that they did a full clone). In this case, we can still run, of
course, so simply fill the version string with a sufficiently explicit
value, that does not require hg. The date is a good candidate.

     4 The following makes it possible to configure glibc-2.3.2 on Mac OS X,
     5 where the assembler but doesn't understand the --version flag.

     7 Fixes the symptom
     8 checking whether ld is GNU ld... no
     9 checking for /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/as... /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/as
    10 checking version of /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/as...
    11 <PAUSES HERE AND JUST SITS THERE DOING NOTHING>

    13 NOTE:  This patch should apparently be pushed upstream so we don't need to
    14 keep adding it here.
