Meld's Bazaar support

[Jelmer Vernooij]

Hi Aaron,

While updating your bzr-gtk-meld branch to use an external meld, I
noticed that meld is broken for bzr. It popens "bzr status --all", but
the --all argument has been removed recently.

There are a couple ways to solve this: 

 * We could use a combination of "bzr ls --verbose", "bzr modified" and
"bzr added" to figure out the tree state. This'll significantly slow
down meld on large Bazaar trees though. (Very bad idea imho)
 * bzr status --all can simply be undeprecated (not sure how difficult
this will be)
 * Ideally, we could use bzrlib directly in meld. John mentioned on IRC
that there were potential licensing issues because meld.vc is
BSD-licensed. 

Is there any chance an exception can be made for the license to
meld.vc.bzr ? Which solution would you prefer?

Cheers,

Jelmer
