There still are some issues. This:

(defun vc-generic-status-printer (fileentry)
  (let* ((file (vc-dir-fileinfo->name fileentry))
         (backend (vc-responsible-backend file)))
    (vc-call-backend backend 'status-printer fileentry)))

is not quite right. 
(vc-dir-fileinfo->name fileentry) is not an absolute file name, doing
vc-responsible-backend on that is not going to work.

Also please put the backend in a buffer-local variable in the vc-dir
buffer, that way all the vc-responsible-backend calls in vc-generic-* can be
eliminated.  
With that change this code will work.
It does not work right now for at least hg, git and svn.
