Comment(by ioerror):

 This produces a Tor binary that is 6.5M (6802809 bytes) on my X86_64
 system and when stripped the binary is only 3.4M (3489520 bytes) in size.

 This should be suitable for sending to users via email and/or basic Tor
 bootstrapping needs once the warnings above have been solved.

 I suppose we also are now on par with many other "no install required"
 proxies for whatever that's worth...
