Inconvenient behaviour difference between bazaar on linux and windows(MinGW/Msys)

Thanks all for the suggestions/feedback. I could not find an available 
msys version of python.
The development team here need to build native windows executables, but 
they say that building under cygwin creates executabes that need cygwin 
at run time which is a pain for their users.
Building under MinGS+Msys avoids that problem.

My personal choice would be to tell the users to use a decent OS like 
Ubuntu ;^)

That will indeed be my fallback if all else fails (it may eventually 
only be 'bzr revno' that is needed at build time).
