New description:

 obfsproxy integration tests are not robust.

 * We need some integration tests that check how obfpsroxy works under
 different managed-mode environment variables.

 * The `obfsproxy/test/tester.py`, which is our basic integration test,
 could use some love.

 * I once started coding PITS, an advanced integration tester for
 obfsproxy. You can find the design docs here:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-
 transports/obfsproxy.git/blob/HEAD:/obfsproxy/test/int_tests/pits_design.txt
 Unfortunately, while I still like the idea, I'm not happy with its code.
 As a matter of fact, I have probably forgotten how it works and I should
 rip it off the obfsproxy codebase since it's pretty much useless.
