There's a couple places outside the OstreeFetcher code where libostree 
uses SoupURI internally; specifically the repo pull and metalink code.

Copying SoupURI into libostree would allow severing the libsoup 
dependency cleanly without too much disruption, but I wasn't aware of 
your D-Bus work.  If D-Bus methods make more sense then great.

Sounds like a pretty cool project!
