Aha, I didn't know about BZR_PLUGIN_PATH -- even though perhaps I should
have done.

This is certainly a part solution to the overall problem, it allows for
platform specific plugin directories.

It does mean though that I will have three copies of the plugin branch
-- I agree not a huge problem, but irritating nonetheless.  I guess what
I need to do is have the bzr-svn branch somewhere and then compile it to
an installation directory different from the source directory.  This
means setting DESTDIR sensibly.

Thanks.
