 TorBirdy really needs a HTTP->SOCKS5 shim - who better to provide it than
 TorBirdy?

 I propose that we use Moxie's incredible head start on the matter:
 https://github.com/moxie0/Convergence/blob/master/client/components/LocalProxy.js
 https://github.com/moxie0/Convergence/tree/master/client/chrome/content/workers
 https://github.com/moxie0/Convergence/tree/master/client/chrome/content/proxy

 There are two ways to do it - one is async and the other isn't. I think we
 should first try the most straight forward approach of using what is
 already written; later we can improve it by making it async.
