Comment (by boklm):

 I pushed a new branch `bug_19528-v5` which does not use a buildid.txt file
 anymore:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/tor-browser-
 bundle.git/commit/?h=bug_19528-v5

 The buildid is extracted from the `application.ini` file from the first
 mar file. The platformVersion is not extracted yet, I will do it in a
 separate bug.
