This is an excellent idea and will add up many new plugable transport
bridges to the network. Setting and configuring properly a bridge has
been quite often an issue for users and sysadmins.

It makes sense that we add support for various plugable transports
(eg: fteproxy and scramblesuit) and versions (obfsproxy2..5) running
on a number of ports/IPs.

There are cases were censors block only newer versions of plugable
transports, but not older ones.
