 Replying to [comment:6 nickm]:
 > One thing that the above idea doesn't handle is obfsproxy's ability to
 handle more than one protocol at a time.  There's no way to say, "Provide
 obfs2 on port 5555, and obfs3 on port 5556" with that interface.  Not sure
 if it matters for our needs though.

 One way we could do this is to have some kind of separator such that each
 set of options is divided from the next.  For example,
 {{{
 obfsproxy  --dest=10.1.1.1:6666 obfs2 client 127.0.0.1:8888  --  obfs2
 socks 127.0.0.1:8889 -- dummy socks 127.0.0.1:8890
 }}}
