 user that started it and we don't create any system users anymore.

 I don't have any experience on OS X, but on Linux I think this can be a
 really good chance to integrate everything. Currently Tor service runs as
 root, and it conflicts with Vidalia when it runs as a normal user.
 Unifying this with a common user/group can be a nice solution, but again,
 it's more a matter of what every distribution decides rather than what's
 decided here.
 On the other hand, for Windows and OS X, where the idea of "bundled" is a
 good thing, this doesn't really matter.
