I made some commits that make it possible to control the proxy through
the command line or with SOCKS args. So for example,
	Bridge meek 0.0.2.0:1
	ClientTransportPlugin meek exec ./meek-client --url=http://tor1.bamsoftware.com:7002/ --http-proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8787/
or if you have a newer tor supporting SOCKS args, you can use
	Bridge meek 0.0.2.0:1 url=http://tor1.bamsoftware.com:7002/ http-proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8787/
	ClientTransportPlugin meek exec ./meek-client
