Bug Description

I have C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 3\BCompare.exe as the default diff in qbzr.conf.

Beyond Compare is offered on the Diff button drop-down, but when I try to use it, I get the error that "C:\Program" cannot be found.

I tried editing qbzr.conf and quoting the whole pathname of BeyondCompare, but bazaar removed the quotes.

Try to enter the path as
C:/Program Files/Beyond Compare 3/BCompare.exe

note forward slashes.
