[tor-relays] Windows Relay Setup

[William Pate]

I finally got around to playing with this some more.

Thank you for your message, Bruce. I searched for Vidalia and found an old bundle that appears to work perfectly on my Windows 10 machine.

Steps I took:

1. Download Vidalia Bundle 0.2.4.23 from http://vidalia-bundle.en.lo4d.com/
2. Extract
3. Install
4. Start
5. The Vidalia Control Panel will pop-up
6. In settings, I changed the Tor executable from the one included with the Vidalia Bundle to the current version of Tor elsewhere on my system.

Like I said, it *appears* to be working. Can't find it in relay search yet, but I only set it up moments ago.
