 (0.2.16 and 0.3.1-alpha). The user can just add "obfs2 192.0.2.1:42666" as
 he/she adds a regular bridge and Vidalia will just pass that to tor. As
 long as we provide a the correct torrc, it will work.

 it'd be good to have a control command to consult transport status
 somehow, in which case it should be easy to create a "transport status
 plugin".

 That would be nice, yes.
