bzr.exe, PyQt4 and suport for image formats

bzr.exe has PyQt4 libs bundled inside of version 4.4.x (I don't know 
exact version). In Qt 4.4.x series support for many image formats (gif, 
ico, jpeg, scg, tiff) provided by plugins. These plugins currently is 
not packaged to bzr.exe unfortunately, so QBzr lacks this support (it 
can understand only built-in image formats, e.g. png, bmp).

To enable image support you need to place directory with image plugins 
(named "imageformats") right into the folder where bzr.exe installed 
(e.g. as C:\Program Files\Bazaar\imageformats). And then support for 
jpeg/gif will work.

John, as I could see you already build 1.16 final installer, so this 
recipe is a bit late. Is it possible to have imageformats plugins in the 
next release? I can provide a patch to copy these plugins as part of 
py2exe action. The size of folder with plugins is about 7MB. I think 
they will increase the size of installer on 2-3MB.
