A lot of Windows shops would probably like to put bzr behind IIS and 
configure NTLM or Kerberos security to control access giving them 
password-less authentication and centralized user management.  That 
would require bzr grow 'windows sspi' authentication support, which 
although available via pywin32 and others, is something I've no personal 
need for so am unlikely to contribute.  I could point anyone interested 
in the right direction though...
