Here's an updated version in the form of a patch.
Features include:
- Ensure things are done in the right directory with pushd/popd
- Allow setting environment variables (for the life of the script) with:
 make test "PYTHON=..\PCbuild\python.exe"
- Emulate UNIX's `make -C <dir>` (cd dir; call make.bat %*, essentially)
- Choose x86 or x64 with "-64" command line switch
- Intelligently choose an interpreter for `make patchcheck` and `make test`
- Available targets are: build, clean, patchcheck, ready, test. "ready" is implemented by Tools/buildbot/external[-amd64].bat; "make ready" sounds better and possibly more accurate than "make external" to me.
- Create a convenience "python.bat" script, which calls the newly built interpreter with all supplied arguments. Created by :build, deleted by :clean (and added to .hgignore)
Everything seems to work ok for me, but my testing platforms are limited to a single Win7 laptop, currently. This issue is also somewhat constrained by issue 17202; it is supposed to work without any change to .hgeol, but that can't be guaranteed.
