I think you should just rewrite the damn thing to use Controller::Rose.

That seems like a much better idea to me since Peter Karman's code is already
pretty stable and provides most of the things you need.

Just provide a different interface on top.

Re-inventing wheels is not the Catalyst way. If you want to write everything
from scratch every time, might I recommend PHP.
