         <p>This plugin is implemented entirely in Python - there are <strong>no Git binary dependencies</strong>, you do not need to have Git installed on your system. There are in fact no external dependencies currently other than Mercurial and Dulwich. The plugin is known to work on Mercurial 1.3. Versions 1.1 and 1.2 of Mercurial should be supported, but that support hasn't been well-tested in a while.</p>
+        <p>Note that Dulwich has C extensions, so it requires a C compiler when installing via easy_install.  On Windows, one option is the free<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/#2008-Visual-CPP">Microsoft Visual C++</a>.  Be sure to install the 2008 version for compatibility reasons.  On debian-style linux, run: <code>apt-get install python-dev.</code></p>
