New submission from matt wilkie <maphew at gmail.com>:

If the conversion pre-reqs are not available and examining a directory for
possible conversion `hg convert` reports things like "foo does not look like
a Bazaar repository" instead of the more truthful "bzrlib not available,
skipping Bazaar check". 

To reproduce, on an mercurial-virgin Windows machine which has a local
bazaar branch in k:\code\foo-bzr do:

1. Download and install tortoisehg*.msi
2. Open command shell and
	
	pushd k:\code

	hg convert -s bzr -d hg foo-bzr foo-hg
	initializing destination foo-hg repository
	foo does not look like a Bazaar repository
	abort: foo: missing or unsupported repository

	bzr check
	Checking working tree at 'K:/code'.
	Checking branch at 'file:///K:/code/'.
	Checking repository at 'file:///K:/code/'.
	checked repository <bzrlib.transport.local.LocalTransport url=file:///K:/code/>
	format RepositoryFormat2a()
			23 revisions
	   520 file-ids
	checked branch file:///K:/code/ format Branch format 7 


Host system is 64bit Win7 pro,
Bazaar installed from bzr-explorer-setup-1.1.0beta1.exe,
Mercurial from tortoisehg-1.1.3-hg-1.6.3-x64.msi

This is true for Bazaar, with the assumption the same holds true for other
candidates.
