I would just mention that it would make a lot more sense *to me* to have
a separate "bzr-explorer.exe" main script. And this would bootstrap into
'bzr explorer', only setting up everything as you would expect a gui to
behave. So it would have its own 'main()' function, rather than using
bzr's main, just to have stuff like ui_factory get overridden, and set
up trace to log as expected, etc.

It also means that there is a simple icon to double-click, which can
have, etc, etc.

Then again, maybe you need bzrw because you want to run a subprocess
without a console window. Which is fine, I just figured I would mention
a potentially better entry point than "bzrw explorer".
