Bug Description

If you run bzr from source on Windows with no SSH implementation it just says

bzr: ERROR: Don't know how to handle SSH connections. Please set BZR_SSH environment variable.

What you actually have to do is *install* an SSH implementation, either paramiko or putty.

I believe we ship paramiko in the installer so you shouldn't hit this case.
