 This ticket is about coming up with a plan for making pluggable transports
 work in practice, including how to solve the packaging and updating
 problems.  The output document will describe ways for rolling out new
 protocols in the future, even though the initial deployment will only
 contain obfs2 as transport.  The document will also cover how BridgeDB
 will give out transport information to bridge users.  Basically, the
 document will describe what users will have to do to use pluggable
 transports: download a special bundle, learn bridges that support one or
 more pluggable transports, put the Bridge lines into the torrc or Vidalia,
 done.  The document will also describe how Tor uses UPnP to set up port
 forwarding to the bridge proxy.

 This ticket is part of the March 31, 2012 milestone for sponsor G.
