OK, that would solve the "technical" issue of having the checkout of
bzr.dev shared by many different architectures and yet still compiled.
However, the problem that remains is a "management" one, in that every
time I updated I would then have to login to each machine and run the
compilation (though I guess I could script such a compilation for all
the permanently connected machines). The huge advantage of not
compiling is that it works on all architectures just by updating on the
server and (I think this is the real "killer" point) I can Unison
synchronize the server copy to the laptops and back again in the full
knowledge that Bazaar will Just Work (tm) on all my machines.

NB I appreciate I get a performance hit by not compiling but the ease of
management across 7 machines outweighs this.

PS Matt's suggestion coming up prompted me to "do the right thing" and
I am now up to date with revision 4850.

Thanks.
