Near-candidate for Mac OS X package

[Thomas Hardly]

Hi,

The restart is actually required by the privoxy package. Just the
baseTor install does not require a restart.

If you want way around this you could force quite the installer when
it is complete and wants you to restart and then start services by
hand. Or better yet buld it all from source and then start from the
CLI.
