Comment (by infinity0):

 meek-client-torbrowser is sufficiently useful for other projects that it
 would be a shame to move it into the tor-browser tree.

 I think (a) supporting both a script/args argument is fine, and that you
 are overthinking the downsides in supporting both.

 But, if you really want to, we can (b) have linux.go / mac.go define a
 config constant that says "--helper is a script" and have windows.go
 define it that says "--helper is a args file". Only windows needs the
 latter, everything else is POSIX and has proper interprocess signals.

 Either of these options would satisfy both (1) and (2) the goals of this
 ticket. I prefer (a), but would also be happy with (b) just to get this
 thing done already. :)
