 Replying to [comment:2 erinn]:

 will be smarter. I think.

 I agree that having Vidalia do it is best. Vidalia knows what datadir it
 is configured to think Tor will use, after all, and it already knows how
 to construct the path to the port.conf file, since it is planning to try
 to read it once it launches Tor.
