I should note that what people *really* want for 'easy_install bzr' is
to be able to download a pre-compiled binary. Which we already build in
the bzr-2.0.0-1.py2.*.exe files. I don't know how to tell pypi that
those are available, but that may be a significantly better experience
for end users. (Consider that they would not need a compiler, etc.)
