Bridge-group on a Tunnel interface?

Hello all,
 
I recently got a call from a friend at a firm with a very large network.
He has been tasked with bridging DEC protocol from one side to the
other. Again, this is a large routed network, so going to each routed
interface and making it part of a bridge-group would be not only a pain,
but almost impossible to get management to sign off on. So he wanted to
setup a Tunnel interface (on each end of course) then bridge from (say)
the ethernet interface on each side to the Tunnel interface. Problem
is, it appears the bridge-group command isn't available on Tunnel
interfaces...... Could this be an IOS thing that perhaps a newer
version supports, or is he just out of luck?
 
We even thought about trying to setup a PPTP or L2TP tunnel from end to
end.... any suggestions are welcome!
 
TIA,
Mike W.
