Following the first round of feedback, I've created another all-in-one
installer, which should be uploading now. It is
"bzr-setup-1.9rc1-2.exe". In this installer, I should have fixed:

1) paramiko not being installed. (It turns out that setuptool's egg
files are not compatible with py2exe, so you have to use "easy_install
- -Z paramiko".)

2) libsvn_client-1.dll not being found. It seems that our current build
process does not find and copy these files into the installer. So I went
ahead and did it manually, but this is something we will need to fix in
a more permanent manner.

3) pyenchant is now also installed, which I believe adds spell-checking
to qbzr (such as qcommit).

4) Someone mentioned missing the option to install CA certificates. I
think this is because I'm not bundling pycurl in the 1.9 installer. So
it would be nice if people could try the new installer with https://
urls, just to make sure our https support still works as expected.

Thanks to those who gave feedback already on the installer (John Whitley
Eugene Wee, and Martin Pool specifically), and I look forward to the
next round.
