 The B3 needs a web interface for easy configuration of Tor (as a bridge,
 non-exit and exit relay). The information I have gotten from Excito so far
 is:

 1. All interface code is available on the B3. Everything Web-UI is written
 in PHP on the Codeigniter framework and then there's Jquery-UI for the
 browser. All of this should be located in /usr/share/web-admin/admin/. See
 http://codeigniter.com/ (_not_ v2.0) and http://jqueryui.com/.

 2. I have been told that the backend-stuff is a bit tricky. The B3 is
 currently using a perl backend for parts that need elevated permissions
 (but this is being replaced by separate components in c++ etc). It should
 be possible to patch this up by adding code to /usr/lib/web-
 admin/adminfunctions.php (which is used in the frontend calling out to
 perl with elevated priviliges).
