python-fastimport is now on github, but the script is still pointing to the launchpad repo,
and its looking for a tag that doesn't exist, so i changed what tag its looking for

added os.path.normpath() around a couple of places because stuff like hhc.exe doesn't like directories 
with forward slashes, wants backward slashes


DUE TO how its searches for python.exe files, it searches in --python-dirs, which defaults to C:
so it looks for python.exe files and the first one it gets to is c:\\python33\python.exe, so you will have to temporarily
rename it to be python3 or something!

APPARENTLY tortoisebzr is awful, and during the setup.py install script, you get:

"lib/gettext/project-id subprocess failed: Bad file descriptor", but according to http://pysvn.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=3578&viewType=browseAll&dsMessageId=2882599, this is a 'normal' error message and should not cuase the entire build to 
fail.....i'm just commenting out that project for now =/

    EDITED 2: i reenabled it, but removed gettext and stuff from the path so it just skips PO compiling

tortoisebzr i dont really want, but some other script is looking for a dll that it exports so i reenabled it

    it can't find MSBuild or "devenv.com" (in the registry), so i changed msbuild to be VCExpress, which does exist in 
    the install for visual studio 2008

    OK so i basically converted the .sln to vs2013 and built it there, since i guess visual studio 2008 requires some
    ugly ass hack to get it to  build x64 dll's, http://jenshuebel.wordpress.com/2009/02/12/visual-c-2008-express-edition-and-64-bit-targets/. It was building the x86 ones fine, just not the x64....

    i made it so that in the function where it tries to build the dlls, i just return early since it was already built,
    cause after upgrading the solution if you have vs2008 try and use it , it just errors out.


the bzr.iss script


it had:

            if IsWin64 then
                tovmsi := 'TortoiseOverlays-1.1.2.19334-x64.msi'
            else
                tovmsi := 'TortoiseOverlays-1.1.2.19334-win32.msi'

but it really needed to be:

            if IsWin64 then begin
                tovmsi := 'TortoiseOverlays-1.1.2.19334-x64.msi'
            end else begin
                tovmsi := 'TortoiseOverlays-1.1.2.19334-win32.msi'
            end;

i also had to comment out: 

; Include .mo files with their special unixy directory structure
;Source: "share\locale\*.*"; DestDir: "{app}\locale"; Flags: createallsubdirs ignoreversion recursesubdirs restartreplace uninsrestartdelete;

cause i didn't compile any .mo files

I ALSO had to copy:

    msvcp120.dll
    msvcr120.dll
    vccorlib120.dll

    not sure which ones i needed, or what version (these are visual studio 2013 versions...)

    from Microsoft Visual Studio 12 / vc / redist / x86/Microsoft.VC120.CRT

    to

    bzr-windows-installers/build-win32/releases/bzr-2.6/win32_bzr.exe

    it DID NOT do this for me, maybe there is a step missing from the script?

(also need to edit bazaar_releases.py for the plugins/new releases that you want to install)
(the --python means it looks for a folder in C:// called that, and runs that python.exe)
