 Once upon a time there was a single Tor Browser Bundle for Windows, but
 now we also support OS X and Linux, and Vidalia has to be patched in order
 to handle TBBs that aren't Windows. It has some hardcoded paths that were
 originally setup in order to better handle Firefox Portable's directory
 structure, but these don't apply to Linux or OS X, and probably won't
 apply to Windows either when I start building Firefox for all of the
 platforms. (I currently do this for OS X and x86_64.)

 You can see how this is handled by default in src/vidalia/MainWindow.cpp
 at:
 590: MainWindow::launchBrowserFromDirectory()

 In my ideal world, I would just give the full path in vidalia.conf without
 having to patch that file or create strange directory structures in order
 to obey it.

 I've also attached a diff between the default !MainWindow.cpp and the
 patched version used on OS X.
