I have a somewhat similar arrangement: - the symbolic links in my 
~/.bazaar/plugins points are:

explorer -> /home/ak/bzr-explorer/
and
qbzr -> /home/ak/qbzr

I do not have *any* plugins installed, other than the qbzr itself, which 
apparently gives me access to a list of plugins.  I guess I should start with 
installation of qpull separately  :)

All great stuff, thank you. Gives me something to do.  At least there seems to 
be a way ahead.  Right now, however, I better complete a form for Centrelink 
for my spouse. Gee, are they ever very inquisitive at Centrelink...

Thank you Ian and thank you Martin - no good trying to save you guys from 
unnecessary work!

PS: Neil, I have an idea that wartburg.edu referrs to a Wartburg Uni in USA, 
not Germany, as the name of Wartburg would suggest?
