Simply putting it on the load-path is not enough to make it work,
you'd still have to load it explicitly; it's not clear to me that this
is better than adding it to vc-handled-backends. We can of course
support both approaches, so the rest of your patch is fine, I just
don't think the installation instructions should be changed.
