Turns out the quality of that tools is not that great, so I decided to
write a simple one using bzr-fastimport. It works nicely, although I
wouldn't trust the quality of bzr-fastimport too much.

It's so simple I don't see the need of a framework, but if needed, one
could be done taking these git-remote-{hg,bzr} as a basis.

Cheers.
