In thinking about how users on phones/tablets will actually get
obfs3/4/scramblesuit bridges, I realized that going to
https://bridges.torproject.org on their mobile device will not be a
great experience. The QR code scanning if they or a friend also has a
PC, but in a pure mobile environment, it doesn't help so much.

I can create a ticket for this, but just to lay out the idea, I think we
need to have the bridge:// (or the improved proposed obfs4:// obfs3://
type specific scheme URLs) as a clickable link in both the bridges.tp.o
site and the gettor email response messages.
