It's stored in the GConf registry under
/system/networking/connections/<#>/ipv4 where <#> is a simple integer
assigned by NM.  The actual key is "routes" and the format appears to
be a list of integers, in the order [addr, mask, gw, metric] with each
integer being a net-ordered (?) value.  So if your route is
172.16.0.0/16, you'd see the values [4268, 16, 0, 0] in the list.

4268 => 0x10AC => 0x000010AC ~= "0.0.16.172"

Not the easiest thing to edit directly by hand, you're definitely right.
