 ControlPort. The part that is still missing is setting the env vars for
 TorButton, I need to work that out with Erinn, since everything TBB-ish
 will live in a plugin apart from Vidalia (see user/chiiph/vidalia-
 plugins.git repo for a first version of the TBB plugin).

 depends on the timing.

 My goal is to triage, tag, and assign Tor Browser, TorBrowserButton, Tor
 bundles/installation, and Vidalia bugs at the dev meeting with you and
 Erinn, and we'll make the call from there.

 I'd like to get it out within a few weeks after tor 0.2.2.x goes stable,
 though. So we're probably talking about end of the summer or fall at the
 latest.
