Ah, OK, I forgot this one. I might use it so I can backup the settings without including 
the plugins.

Yes, I saw that. I meant that the separate Bzr Explorer installer (perhaps deprecated 
now?) proposed the Bazaar install dir by default instead of the BZR_HOME one. But perhaps 
it checks only BZR_PLUGIN_PATH?
Oh, well, now it is officially part of the Bzr install, it is not a problem anyway. :-)
Actually, it never was a problem, just an apparent inconsistency in plugin management 
(bundled with Bzr vs. user-installed).

Guessed that... :-) Not sure it is worth the trouble either.

Well, it was only suggestions, the issue isn't hard to resolve by hand anyway. Just might 
confuse some newbies from time to time... :-P
