Is it possible to rename a file in HG and have it keep the history?

The rename will preserve all history of the file, though you must ask for it explicitly:

hg log --follow chirpc

If your keen on creating a tool for install purposes, look at the setup script. You may be able to achieve this by creating a named setup distro without requiring a rename of the source file. I haven't tried this myself but should be possible.

I don't think it's a good idea to rename it on install, as it will be confusing to anyone that switches between an installed release and a daily build.
