I think it's reasonable to want to run launchpad-related commands from
bzr on Windows.

There are a few options to get there:
 * just include them (but there are a lot of dependencies)
 * have some separate way to install the dependencies, and make
lp-propose fail cleanly with a recommendation to add them (perhaps
this is already possible through eg pip, but that might not work well
with py2exe?)
 * rewrite this to work on top of lp_api_lite, though that will take
some new development to let it send signed requests, get tokens, etc,
so it's not a short term solution
