Actually, support for creating MSI-based installers for python modules
and packages is already built-in in Python 2.5. It needs only small changes
to Bazaar codebase:

Unfortunately, MSI or eggs(?) don't like bzr version info:

...
running install_egg_info

    raise ValueError, "invalid version number '%s'" % vstring

Of course for standalone bzr.exe we need to use some third-party tool,
like WiX or similar.
