bzr-svn as part of windows install?

[Erik Bågfors]

Since mac os leopard contains a python that works with bzr, I've been  
thinking of doing an installer that contains bzr, bzr-svn, bzrtools,  
rebase and perhaps a few other plugins. So any experience you can give  
from doing the same for windows would be helpful.
