 Sebastian), we have Tor 0.2.3.10-alpha binaries in packages in
 www.tpo/dist/ , and we need someone to test this process.

 IT WORKS!!!  Microsoft's screwy incompatible APIs for spawning and
 controlling subprocesses couldn't stop us!

 (I used Tor 0.2.3.10-alpha binaries from the ‘expert bundle’ `tor-0.2.3.10
 -alpha-win32-1.exe` , and I copied only Sebastian's obfsproxy.exe into the
 App/ directory because there was already a libeay32.dll there.  The only
 change I made to asn's torrc lines was to use a real obfsproxy address; I
 didn't need to Windows-ize “`./App/obfsproxy`”.)
