 In #3875 Mike suggests we try out the usability of having the Tor in TBB
 just immediately succeed at all socks handshakes, and hang up if it gets
 an end cell rather than a connected cell.

 We should whip up a Tor patch that does this behavior, so somebody can try
 it out.

 (We may or may not want to merge it into mainline Tor branches. I guess it
 depends how complex the patch is and how successful the tests are.)
