not in this case as Mercurial is not version agnostic
and it is setting its own specific "libdir"

$ cygcheck -l mercurial | grep "usr/lib" | head
/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/hgdemandimport/demandimportpy2.py
/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/hgdemandimport/demandimportpy3.py
..

my workaround solve the specific hg issue,  until its repacking.

Alternatives can not support two different programs that need different 
version
