Comment:

 I pushed the script to mikeperry/bug5611. I think the script changes
 itself are OK, and mergable by itself, but I think we should also merge a
 wrapper, too.

 I also created #6254 for the Torbutton side. We'll use the env var
 TOR_TRANSPROXY=1 there.

 The question now becomes what should our wrapper script(s) look like?
 Here's the variables you want to set and why:

 # You need these for New Identity:
 TOR_CONTROL_PORT
 TOR_CONTROL_PASSWD or TOR_CONTROL_COOKIE_AUTH_FILE


 # You need this to specify Transtor:
 TOR_TRANSPROXY=1

 # You need these to specify a SOCKS port (if not transtor):
 TOR_SOCKS_HOST
 TOR_SOCKS_PORT

 What wrappers scripts should we include with defaults for the above, if
 any? We can probably include one for specific for the Tail's setup. What
 values do we need for that?
