So, a couple of years ago I had the same idea as you, and wrote down
some initial code for it. I've uploaded some of the code for you, which
can be found here[1]. The main code for the nautilus plugin can be found
in flickrfs.c, while the flicker code can be found in flickr.c. I warn
you though, the code is pretty dirty and if you really want to improve
it, I have some ideas on where to start :). 

Hope it was of some help.
