I haven't looked closely, but you might consider turning this into a
'bzr-gio' plugin, similar to 'bzr-webdav'. Basically, a plugin should be
able to provide all the bits necessary to connect via this new mechanism.

bzr-webdav might be a good plugin to take inspiration from.

The big advantage is that then anyone who wants this support can just
install your plugin, rather than having to get a patched version of bzr.
