Serhiy: "The parts for OSX and MSVC still are in the source tree." Oh, I didn't know that we still had two special libffi directories for macOS and Windows! Why do we still have these directories? Both seems to be very outdated, no? I completed my list: http://haypo-notes.readthedocs.io/cpython.html#embedded-libraries Serhiy: "As for dropping support for Mercurial, is patchcheck.py used in other Python implementations (PyPy, Jython) which still use Mercurial?" I reverted my change to keep Mercurial support.
