Comment(by mikeperry):
This is not a bad idea, but where should the button be?
It seems like the most user-accessible option would be a Torbutton menu
option that says "Emergency Wipe.." But we'd need to confirm in case of
accidental click.
Also, this is going to run into cross-platform difficulties. Windows for
example really does not like you to be able to modify executables of
running processes, so we'd have to fork off a new process, and then exit,
and then notify the process to start wiping after exit. Then we'd have to
figure out how to teach that process to wipe itself, which will be
different on each platform..
