Well, I went through and worked out the details. And while it isn't
actually supported in 0.13 (we didn't actually expose bzr+http from the
command line). It is actually quite easy to set up. I sent a few patches
which update the documentation, and exposes 'bzr+http://' as a real
protocol.

I will admit that ftp is not tested as heavily as http and sftp. But we
want it to work well, so I'll look into this a bit.
