Perhaps so, but as you read in the blog, my site-packages tree is
C:\Program Files\Bazaar\lib\library.zip.  Hardly a good place to put
a plugin, what with the needing to crack it open, and zip it up again,
and all.  ;)

(While it's true that I have python installed now, I didn't install it
  until after I installed bzr, and I don't really want to conflate the
  two.)

Heck, if you've installed the stand-along bzr package, you may not have 
a python to run the setup.py with.  :)

So far, aside from figuring out where they go, there haven't been any
problems with the plugins I've installed.  (bzrtools and 
send-and-update, specifically.)

Later,
Blake.
