Sounds fine! I thought about just leaving bzr in there as binary as well
- I was not sure if it works, but if it does, it's much better than the
"which `bzr`" approach I proposed.

Your proposal with the 'bzr-newrelease' target is exactly what I was
thniking about, too. I think it's really worth a try doing it this way.

Your third suggestion with including the branch is also great! So I
guess we agree in all these points now :-)

Bug description:
We should find a way to automatically integrate the current build number from the VCS (i.e. using "bzr revno", but a solution which does not depend on the bzr binary would be even better) and the current date (should be rather simple) dynamically into the build script, that is, without relying on resources/appResources.properties. This would simplify bug tracking from development builds. Since these strings are currently updated rather rarely, "Help->About" often reports incorrect information.
