Comment:

 Few things to note:

 - I added another exception class for when the request made by the user is
 invalid instead of raising a ProtocolError. (Since, this isn't really an
 error with the tor following protocol). If this the right way to do it,
 the GETINFO code should probably use it too.

 - This code could probably be made to use a dict mapping strings to
 classes

 {{{
   import stem.response.getinfo
   import stem.response.getconf
   import stem.response.protocolinfo

   if not isinstance(message, ControlMessage):
     raise TypeError("Only able to convert stem.response.ControlMessage
 instances")

   if response_type == "GETINFO":
     response_class = stem.response.getinfo.GetInfoResponse
   elif response_type == "GETCONF":
     response_class = stem.response.getconf.GetConfResponse
   elif response_type == "PROTOCOLINFO":
     response_class = stem.response.protocolinfo.ProtocolInfoResponse
   else: raise TypeError("Unsupported response type: %s" % response_type)
 }}}

   I didn't do this because merging would be a pain (with SAFECOOKIE using
 the preset if-elif chain).

 - That said, atagar, would it be easier for you if I did all my controller
 class work in a single branch? Since, merging multiple branches dealing
 with the same code might be painful? Or is that not a problem?
